...call to put the curricular review on hold until a new Dean of the Faculty has been appointed is erroneous for a number of reasons.First, we believe that the core of the review—the proposal to replace the current Core Curriculum with broader distribution requirements and optional broad foundational courses—would substantially benefit undergraduates. If it is approved this spring, it should apply retroactively to the Class of 2007 and subsequent graduating classes, so current students can use departmental courses to round out the last of their distribution requirements. Undergraduates must be freed from the shackles...
...metal fence, a product of popular misconceptions about immigration, is unlikely to significantly reduce undocumented immigration and merely serves as a symbol of xenophobia and ignorance. Most Mexicans do not view crossing the border as a right—if Mexicans believed this, they would be crossing conspicuously, in broad daylight rather than digging tunnels or hiring “coyotes” to smuggle them across the border. Mexicans are well aware that it is the U.S.’s sovereign right to enforce its laws; these immigrants continue to cross only because they have no other choice...

But U.S. Attorneys think otherwise. That's where DiLeonardo comes in. The convicted Gambino capo-turned-government informer claims Gotti Jr. continued to orchestrate Mob affairs from behind bars. He also fingered Gotti Jr. for ordering...

We are confident that the newly proposed Courses in General Education—broad, rigorous, trans-departmental, foundational classes—will serve as a significant step forward in providing students with the opportunity to gain comprehensive knowledge in a wide academic domain...
...That was my own impression early on Saturday morning as I and about a hundred members of the press flew into Islamabad on an accompanying press charter. This planned capital, with its broad boulevards, was completely empty save for troops lining the road. Still, when the U.S. embassy official on my bus urged us all to stay close to our hotel, there was some nervous laughter. The press corps may fancy itself to be tough, but no one needed persuading to stay within well defined security zones...
