...what is surely the most immoral and misguided military adventure in American history. All I am arguing here is that Morris?s manner of relating this story is very often quite inappropriate to its substance. It is a sordid and appalling tale and what it demands is almost an anti-style - rough, crude, grim, technically poor imagery unrelieved by sleek, slick fancy work. If you are going to rub our noses in this ugliness, you must not let up until, perhaps, we have learned our lesson...

The software utilizes much of the same technology found in iParadigms’ “TurnItIn,” the program used by colleges to find illicit reproductions in students’ papers, according to the Chronicle of Higher Education...
...have the leverage to force Mugabe to resolve the crisis. But Zimbabwe's neighbors are divided among themselves over how to respond, and all are wary of an anarchic breakdown that brings thousands more refugees streaming across the border. Although Mugabe has long traded on his credentials as an anti-imperialist liberation hero, younger leaders in the region are exasperated by Mugabe's behavior. On Friday, Botswana's foreign minister, Phandu Skelemani, broke ranks with his SADC peers to publicly criticize Mbeki's handling of the crisis and admit that leaders are more concerned about the situation than is reflected...
