...Interior Ministry, said Jabr's experience with Saddam's government has left him bitter and distrustful of anyone he suspects has ties to the previous regime. That would most certainly include the former members of Saddam Hussein's Special Forces and Republican Guards which initially made up the bulk of the National Police when Jabr took charge...
...bulk of its history, Harvard has been run by and for men, with women relegated to the margins. Despite what we like to think, the campus is far from woman-friendly today. The new women’s center is a badly needed first step in changing this, and, in addition, it will have many practical benefits for the entire student body...
...equality of academic opportunity at Harvard is threatened by the rising costs of these readings. The remedies are simple and obvious—embarrassingly so for a college that has shamelessly shirked away from finding ways to reduce the financial burden of coursepacks.

Dubbed the Third Way, the bulk of the province's health-care "policy framework" is laudable stuff, though mostly not revolutionary. The first proposal, for instance, is to put patients' interests first. But mixed among the ideas, planners included an out-of-the-box proposal that would allow private clinics to offer certain services currently available only under Medicare...
