...Columnist Andrew Sullivan's commentary "Yes, a War Would Be Moral" makes the best case possible for the war against Iraq by arguing that this situation is a continuation of a just war that was never resolved. However, Sullivan loses credibility by ignoring Bush's efforts to market the war as a response to Iraq's alleged involvement in the 9/11 massacres, when, in fact, such a connection is questionable. It is unrealistic to expect people to look beyond the lies the Administration is telling and concede that its policies are correct, regardless of its unwillingness to tell the whole...
Those cynical about Harvard might just throw up their hands and claim that this is the way Harvard students are. The annual soap opera is inevitable. The ambition that got us here affects the way students look for social relationships. Last year, Crimson columnist Ross G. Douthat ’02 wrote about the social landscape here: “We are a Darwinist’s delight, superbly adapted to vanquish every competitor.

Not in Andoain. The killing there began in May 2000, when one of Pagazaurtundua's best friends, newspaper columnist José Luis López de la Calle, was gunned down on a rainy street while picking up the Sunday papers. "There is total fear here - everyone is afraid, they don't dare to talk in bars and cafés," says Estanislao Amuchagui, a Socialist town councilor in Andoain...
