...department cites free speech as their primary reason for re-inviting Paulin. While we strongly support the right to free speech, we do not believe it applies in this instance. The recent headline of the BBC claiming that Paulin had been ‘banned from Harvard’ is incorrect: he was not banned from the campus in any way. The English department chose merely to rescind an offer of official University recognition. Nothing prevents Paulin from airing his views in whatever venues he can find. This campus has seen many inflammatory and bombastic speakers throughout the years...
...century, the royals have been complicit in a bizarre, co-dependent relationship with British media and pop culture. In return for making themselves more accessible to the public gaze, the royals hoped that their claim to deference would be extended for generations to come. Since 1969, when the BBC was graciously permitted to film the Windsors "at home" - who can ever forget their picnic on a grouse moor? - they have thought they could control the terms on which they revealed themselves, and hence shape a "modern" relationship between sovereign and people.

...Aide of Leverett House, Mathew is an expert in wildlife biology and conservation, but his other love is theater.

In an interview with the BBC, one of Movsar's men denied any link to al-Qaeda. Still, Movsar seemed to embrace that group's concept of martyrdom. At the start of the action, a rebel website quoted Movsar, saying the hostage takers were there "to die, not to survive." A colleague remarked, while Movsar was still in the theater, "These are the happiest days of his life." --By Paul Quinn...
...Swedish diplomat had subjected his inspectors to a program of "cultural sensitivity" training so as to avoid them unnecessarily offending the Iraqis. But Blix is unmoved by any criticism of such choices. "We are not coming to Iraq to harass or insult or humiliate them," he told the BBC last month. "That is not our purpose." At the same time, he told a British newspaper, "You have to behave yourself but you have to be firm. You have to do your job. We certainly feel there is a right to undertake inspections on a Friday or on a holiday...
