...somewhat amazing that Marbury has any endorsements given his brutal off-season in which he 1) defended Michael Vick's dog-fighting (later recanted), 2) told an interviewer he wanted to "see the spit on your mouth" during a bizarre TV appearance and 3) admitted in a sexual-harassment trial against his coach, Isiah Thomas, that he called a New York Knicks executive a "bitch" and had an extramarital tryst with a Knicks intern. What's the problem? says Marbury. "My sneakers aren't going anywhere, and they're still affordable," he says. "People aren't going to stop living...
...Your cover story told the world how brutal the repressive junta is, but I'm afraid that prayer alone will not change it. The Burmese have been praying for 45 years, and the situation seems to be getting worse. If the free world can bring Saddam and Slobodan Milo-sevic to justice, why not do the same with Burma's junta?

This six-day student boycott of classes in April of 1969—a reaction to the administration’s brutal put-down of a University Hall sit-in—soon solidified its goals into three major points. One was the creation of an Afro-American Studies Department, an objective that was affirmed by a majority of 6,000 voters at a mass meeting in Harvard Stadium. By the end of the month, the University...
...treat these prisoners any differently? Senator Lindsey Graham, a Republican from South Carolina, speaks to all our fears when he calls them “some of the most brutal, vicious people in the world.” But that accusation is as inaccurate as it is manipulative: A study at Seton Hall University found that only eight percent of the Guantanamo detainees were Al Qaeda fighters, and only 30 percent were determined to be Al Qaeda members—and that’s using a definition of membership that is broad enough to include anyone who ever talked...
