Any insinuation, as I've heard in talk shows and web sites, of starting a boycott of Chinese goods or mounting demonstrations would simply add poison to the already bad atmosphere and won't help find a speedy resolution. In a democratic and free society you can't tell people not to speak their minds. But government would be well advised to refrain from incendiary remarks...

The extent to which that alienates the Arab allies Washington needs...
...wrong of underpaying workers and set Harvard on a positive track of social responsibility. Until then, I will join the hundreds of parents and alums who have pledged not to donate any money to Harvard's fundraising efforts. I hope that other parents and alums will join in this boycott until we can be assured that our money will support a living wage for all Harvard employees...
