...Pyongyang, rather than as the specifics of what they hold in their arsenals, an outcome that leaves each intact and more integrated into the international community is far from satisfactory. But just as Iraq may have provided a warning to Iran and North Korea of the fate that could await them - although its not quite clear whether Pyongyang drew the deterrent lesson intended by Washington - Iraq has also provided a harsh reality check on the limits of preemptive regime-change. America is chafing under the burden of its decision to go to war without international authorization. Occupying an unruly Iraq...
...there a greater social purpose behind the recent flash mob craze than releasing steam in these stressful post-Sept. 11 days? In a typical flash mob, scores of individuals convene with the help of instant messages and cell phones to await the often-zany instructions of their unknown leader. A San Francisco flash mob, for instance, was told to play a giant game of duck-duck-goose, and a Harvard Square flash mob flocked to the Harvard Coop this summer to ask for greeting cards for a friend named “Bill.” Since the first flash...

Are we really to say that it was a mistake for the U.S. to intervene in Bosnia and Kosovo (where there was about as much...
...summer is long. The past few weeks are only a small part of it. And as every James Bond fan knows, the action always heats up near the end. But while I await my long chase-and-fight sequence—whether it be with a large database or complicated model (the mathematical kind)—I can continue to learn about the industry, the lifestyle and Microsoft Excel. Right now, however, I have to discontinue the use of electronic devices and bring my seatback and tray-table into full upright and locked position...
