...extermination of European Jewry was not carried out entirely by Germans alone, however, and so the blame must be shared by the Poles, Croats, Ukrainians, French, Italians and many others who had one bone or another to pick with their Jewish neighbors. Each of these societies played eager and willing roles as Nazi accomplices. There are innumerable documented instances of each of the European countries outdoing the shameless acts of their German counterparts in the level of barbarism and cruelty with which they treated the Jewish citizens of their countries. For the countries of the time, it was a question...
European workers will take to the streets against any attempt to reweave their safety net. Who can blame them? In Spain, for instance, laid-off workers are entitled to 45 days' pay for each year of service. Two weeks is typical for the U.S. But the price of such protection is stagnation. Firing workers, even for cause, is so pricey that employers are reluctant to hire them in the first place. So Spain pays for its kindness with a jobless rate of more than 20%, Europe's highest. Italy, although more entrepreneurial than Spain, has similar laws and an unemployment...
Ohlmeyer, in an interview with TIME, heatedly denied the sexual-harassment charge and placed the blame squarely on Ovitz, whom he accused of fomenting "rumors and innuendo that have no basis in fact."

...opportunity, given the recent firings of Katyusha rockets into northern Israel, to show voters that he will act decisively against threats to Israeli security." The U.S. response to the attack has so far been decidedly low key. The White House urged restraint, but placed the blame on Hizballah for firing rockets into Northern Israel. "The U.S. is staying out of this conflict," says McGeary. "They are not putting pressure on Israel to curtail its military activities, hoping that the attacks will bolster Peres' popularity and secure his reelection." Adding to the volatility of the situation, McGeary says, is that Syria...
...blame for this situation? Does the admissions staff have a penchant for admitting wierd people? With the overwhelming number of talented students who clamor for admission, perhaps only the misfits stand out. Or maybe Harvard's demanding academic environment brings out the worst qualities in its students. Kaczynski's frustration with a math problem set may have led him to vent his frustration on academics from coast to coast. Or perhaps scheduling final exams before Christmas would prevent Harvard from being responsible for nuturing more accused murderers...
