Moreno-Ocampo speaks in clipped, declarative sentences and sports the three-day stubble of a man who constantly looks as if he just got off a long-haul flight. When I met him for breakfast at the ICC's cafeteria in late October, he ordered two coffees at a time, to avoid having to go back for refills. Though he has indicted nine people from three different conflicts, Moreno-Ocampo knows he needs to deliver results in the form of high-profile convictions to ensure that the court evolves into something more than a monument to good intentions.

...York Times were delivered to each dining hall every morning, allowing students to read America’s paper of record as they grabbed a bite on the way to class. These few newspapers pierced the proverbial “Harvard bubble” and sparked plenty of breakfast table discussions of issues of national and global concern. And undergraduates responded: the UC received more than 350 notes from students who enjoyed being able to read the Times. Each copy of the Times was surely worth the mere cents it cost to get them into dining halls. Last year, however...
