Indeed, skeptics openly wonder just who is playing whom this week. Except for closing the reactor at Yongbyon - a significant step, to be sure - Kim Jong Il has not fulfilled any other aspect of the deal he signed last year. It required him, by the end of 2007, to disclose all the details about his entire nuclear program - including what the U.S. believes was a surreptitious effort to develop the bomb by enriching uranium, a program Washington believes the North Koreans ran in addition to the plutonium reactor in Yongbyon. President's Bush's former U.N. ambassador, John Bolton...
...least one aspect, however, Harvard has fallen behind institutions such as the University of California, Northeastern, and even Nassau Community College. In terms of addressing climate change, we lag behind not only these three colleges, but also behind almost 500 colleges who have pledged to go “climate neutral.” Each of these schools has committed to achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions, but our university is conspicuously absent. As a world and university leader, Harvard has a duty to commit to setting a date for climate neutrality and so demonstrating that sustainability must...
...highest rates of literacy in the world as a result of its comprehensive public education network. (This is not to ignore the sad fact that Cubans are severely limited in what they are actually allowed to read.)

With the coming changing of the guard, now is an opportune time for the United States government to rethink its Cuban trade policy...
...order to punish their politically insubordinate husbands and fathers epitomizes his deviously manipulative and base regime: for him, they’ve become mere objects to be used. When Rachael confronts him about sleeping with schoolgirls, the Ruler locks her away in a house. Futilely attempting to control every aspect of her environment and believing himself powerful enough to even stop time itself, the Ruler freezes every clock in the house at the minute she dared broach the subject to him. But like all subjects under totalitarian regimes, she remains sovereign over her own spirit, and her refusal to repent...
Parfitt started wondering about another aspect of the Lemba's now-credible oral history: a drumlike object called the ngoma lungundu. The ngoma, according to the Lemba, was near-divine, used to store ritual objects, and borne on poles inserted into rings. It was too holy to touch the ground or to be touched by non-priests, and it emitted a "Fire of God" that killed enemies and, occasionally, Lemba. A Lemba elder told Parfitt, "[It] came from the temple in Jerusalem. We carried it down here through Africa." (See pictures of John 3:16 in pop culture...
