...With oil at $70 a barrel, Russian egos have become as inflated as their reserve surplus, which now amounts to almost $60 billion last year. With part of that money, the Kremlin is contributing aid to the Hamas-led Palestinian Authority, even when the Palestinians miserably failed to condemn the suicide attack in Israel during Passover. This approach (also favored, alas, by Iran) actively undermines the Western funding freeze designed to force Hamas to reject violence and recognize Israel.

It is unfortunate that the very same Faculty who attended meetings in droves to condemn University President Lawrence H. Summers now barely makes quorum to pass profoundly important educational reforms. We have called on the Faculty repeatedly to take a more active interest in the HCCR, and continue to be underwhelmed by their efforts...
