...romantic destination for every hungry Harvardian. And the food—stir-fried, grilled, baked, fried, and boiled by chefs cooking with pots and pans that seem to be straight from Emeril’s set (if only they could cook the food by yelling “Bam!”) seems fresher, healthier, and tastier. Suffice it to say, we are quite impressed—and that’s to say nothing of Dunster’s no-less-astonishing next-door neighbor...
Then there are love interests Gannon and Wade. A chance trip to Thailand allows them to glisten and gleam as the water slides off their bodies, but the longish, supposedly sultry stares leave you anticipating a “bam-chick-a-bam-bam” background sound...
Demands that the University divest from Sinopec—another Chinese company with ties to Sudan—as well as the formation of Burma Action Movement (BAM), which called for divestment from Unocal, seemed to lack necessary research. The ultimate goal of the groups was clearly a righteous one, but instead of properly investigating the true ties between the respective companies and the oppressive regimes, they seemed to latch onto the success of the divestment campaign. Students should not be overly hasty in their calls for divestment; simply because it was appropriate in the case of PetroChina does...
BAM’s misdirected call for divestment implies that perhaps their cause could benefit from better research. Without properly considering all the options before taking such a drastic step such as calling for divestment, BAM loses legitimacy and value. BAM should not attempt to capitalize on the success of the PetroChina cause, since the situations are entirely different. PetroChina had a concrete link to business in Sudan and the state-sponsored genocide. The company appeared to be a back-door way to unethically invest money in Sudan, given that the U.S. prohibits any direct investment in Sudan. Unocal, since...
...BAM should spend more time researching possible alternatives to help the situation in Burma. While one cannot necessarily claim a causal link, oil seems to be a common link between companies and repressive regimes. Perhaps BAM should look into the effect that oil consumption has on these regimes. That is, it’s conceivable that a regime would be crippled if cut off from its oil revenue. It might be useful to explore the possible benefits of promoting alternative energy sources and energy consumption on campus...
