...already questions are being put to the White House about Obama's briefings. Did any possible AQAP threat to the homeland ever appear in a PDB or any other briefing? How many times was Obama briefed on it? What threats were described? Did the President ask any follow-up questions? Did he task anyone to take any particular actions? Were any of AQAP's tactics, like explosives sewn into clothing, mentioned in briefings to the President? (See pictures of the foiled 2006 airline-terrorism plot...
Still, observers inside and outside Willow applaud him. David Anderson, founder of the multicultural Bridgeway Community Church in Columbia, Md., says, "I bet they've done it faster and better than anyone else with a church that large starting off as all white." When I ask Hybels how important racial reconciliation is to Christianity, he says, "It's absolutely core to the Gospel. It speaks to whether all humans are made in the image of God and have the capability of being redeemed and used by God to perform his work. I'm going to persevere on this...
What ever happened to David Mamet? It may seem an odd question to ask about a playwright who is so constantly with us. No fewer than three of his plays--American Buffalo, Speed-the-Plow and Oleanna--have been revived on Broadway in just the past year or so.

...Defense Department's approval of a new arms package to Taiwan on Wednesday was the best new year's gift that President Ma Ying-jeou could ask for. Ma's new year started with an embarrassing diplomatic crisis this week over U.S. beef imports. Lawmakers from Ma's party overturned a U.S.-Taiwan agreement, just signed in October, lifting a ban imposed in 2003 on U.S. beef parts. The new legislation, passed Tuesday, reinstitutes the ban on the import of beef skull, brains, eyes, spine, intestines and ground beef from places with cases of mad cow disease within the past...
...they hypothetically do that only with public universities, not private ones? In theory, all those private colleges are chartered by the state. Sure, the privacy of private colleges should be respected. I do think, however, that it's reasonable to ask private colleges to disclose a lot more information. I do think that's a fair exchange for the public dollar. And private colleges do get a lot of money from the public. They don't pay taxes. And if you're sitting on a billion-dollar endowment and you're not paying taxes on capital gains, that...
