...explanation did have some foundation. Cholera outbreaks were reported over a month ago in several other famine-relief camps; given the unusually large population at Ibnet, the danger of disease was considered especially acute. The government's encouragement of planting before the seasonal rains also made sense, at least in principle. "If these people are going to harvest in the next few months," said Father Jack Finucane, the field director of Concern, an Irish relief agency, who visited Ibnet last week, "this is the time they should go back home. There is very little hope for them in the camp...
...more conservative than papers about the "common man." This confounds me. Do the editor of the Harvard College Farum really not understand pick up in the Browne', use of "great"--not does Rosen equate "common" with uninteresting. You don't have to be a Derridean to understand the danger of a dialectic that concentrates the power of knowledge in the minds of a few men.

Nonetheless, he took some hard swipes at the U.S., saying, "It constantly creates seats of conflict and war danger." But Gorbachev also prescribed a return to the vision of detente as "an example of how international relations can be built," a view that he might elaborate on during his planned visit to the United Nations in September. He sent another clear message of the Soviet Union's intention to improve relations...
...occupation with Podhoretz, one wonders? Intellectual rivalry? Is Trillin a fifth-column neocon? Passages like the following certainly raise speculation: "Looking for ways to ease my mind about signs that the danger of nuclear war is increasing. I stumbled across one comforting thought: maybe the Russian missiles won't work. I realize that the possibility of a simple malfunction is a thin reed upon which to hang the survival of the species. Still, it's what I have for now, and I'm going with...
