...using sex to keep viewers engaged while he fashions facile moral dilemmas is all too apparent. Much of the film punts around vague questions: Is it morally acceptable to avenge a death by killing your oppressors? Collaborating with them? Sleeping with them? The screenplay doesn’t develop these ideas because Verhoeven understands that sex and violence sell better than ethics. His directorial résumé is a testament to this philosophy, as among his hits are “RoboCop,” “Basic Instinct,” “Starship Troopers...

As interdisciplinary collaboration becomes increasingly important in the academic world, the Corporation and central leadership should continue to make it a priority for Harvard and actively...
...remains on nudging Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Abbas to keep talking. The two have announced plans to meet next week, keeping a commitment both made to Rice when she met with them last month. The Secretary of State hopes that regular contact between the two men will develop sufficient trust to allow them to broach discussions over the shape of a two-state solution to the conflict. But there are no peace negotiations on the immediate agenda. Indeed, the most intense - if indirect - bargaining under way right now involves Hamas and Israel, over the list of the Palestinian...
