...iPod. Australians are hooked on a TV show called Idol. And Solomon Islanders have the cult of ramsi. An intervention force may seem an unlikely thing to swoon over, but the Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands has pop-star appeal across the 992-island archipelago. The freshly minted brand has gained the status of savior and sorcerer with a long-suffering people, who utter the acronym in respectful whispers or with toothy smiles.

The University needs to take a more innovative approach to solving the same old transportation problems in its brand new campus. Indeed, it is facing substantially more difficult obstacles—namely the river and a series of high traffic throughways. It would be a shame to build incredible new facilities for learning only to allow an inadequate shuttle system stand...
