...damaged for the national arena, the Parliament took a huge step toward shaking its image as a spineless body that salutes the Commission's every move. And M.E.P.s were tipsy with their newfound power. At Les Aviateurs bar, a popular watering hole in Strasbourg, young M.E.P.s partied until dawn to celebrate their victory.

Currently, ROTC is not a serious option for Harvard students. If you want to take part in the program you get shuttled off to MIT at the crack of dawn in order to keep Harvard’s ideological stance against discrimination intact, as if Harvard were somehow able to dictate terms to the federal government. I would like to have the section of my taxes devoted to the Farm Bill and the War on Terror remitted to me, but sadly we can’t pick and choose. Harvard has to accept that if it is in the business...
