...Kosovo matters to our future because it underscores three alarming features of the current international system. First, it exposes the chill in relations between the U.S. and Russia, which is making it difficult for the U.N. Security Council to meet 21st century collective-security challenges.

At colleges across the country, hordes of students advertise their school pride on a daily basis: Cal sweatpants litter the Berkeley campus, Chicago beanies protect a multitude of ears against infamous wind-chill, and “Uptown Girl: Barnard College” tees saunter down many a Manhattan avenue.
