...write in response to the shocking and unfortunate news that no Harvard undergraduates will be studying in Chile this spring, and I strongly encourage my fellow students to do so. I cannot praise enough Harvard’s regional office in Santiago, whose phenomenal staff are absolutely committed to those of us who travel to their long, thin country to study, live, and work. Last summer, thanks to David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies’s (DRCLAS) Summer Internship Program, I lived with a local family and interned at an orphanage in the south of the city...
However, certain responsibilities cannot be delegated, such as the formulation of the mission (or, at times, the missions) of the organization, its clear articulation, strategies needed to realize the mission, and the continuing monitoring of progress. In my studies, I have been impressed by those leaders—ranging from Martin Luther King Jr. to Margaret Thatcher—who create a powerful story about their organization, engage members through that evocative vision, help members find meaning in pursuit of its achievement, and guide the realization of that master narrative.

...terrible event or another glorious act of incineration.” But such potency is dampened by the numbing chapters that surrounds it.Of course, it is possible that these shortcomings are there for a reason. Perhaps Mailer remains twice-removed from his subject because the human mind cannot comprehend the evil of Hitler. Perhaps there is a correspondence between the minor transgressions of a boy and the major evils of a monster. Perhaps in the face of such inexplicable evil, one can only laugh.Perhaps. But these are easy non-answers to difficult questions, and one would expect more from Mailer...
...seemed highly unlikely a new trial would actually begin on March 19. Seitz, Watada's lawyer, said there would be scheduling conflicts and that in any case he would file an immediate motion to dismiss the case whenever it was finally reconvened. "It is my opinion that Lieut. Watada cannot be tried again because of the effect of double jeopardy," he said, contending that because it was prosecutors who asked for the mistrial, and because the judge granted the mistrial over the opposition of defense lawyers, the prosecutors could not subsequently retry Watada...
