...linguistic coincidence is delightful, and only with its recognition did my awkwardness about the events of January 20 evaporate for good. The now-infamous verbal cog in the constitutional mechanism—the word “faithfully”—invokes the very quality most on display in the repeat performance at the White House. In other words, Mr. Obama’s very pursuit of strict constitutional fidelity powerfully confirms our new president’s understanding of—and intention to perform—his Constitutional Oath. By saying it again, he only confirmed...
...slated to begin today, Winthrop House residents spent yesterday prematurely revelling in their “inevitable” Straus Cup victory. Rosen and co-Master Mandana Sassanfar joined undergraduates in celebrating the inauguration of the new Winthrop House trophy case—a two-tiered, glass-enclosed display situated in the back corner of the dining hall beneath the House’s imposing lion shield.

...left Congo with the memory of one more sign. At MONUC headquarters I found a display of the achievements of Indian peacekeepers. Pictures of the soldiers with refugees were captioned GUARDIANS OF THE LOCAL POPULACE and DO NOT WORRY, WE ARE THERE. In pride of place was a display of pictures and letters detailing how the Indians extracted the body of a Chinese climber from the crater of the nearby Nyiragongo volcano. Above these was a proud banner reading BEYOND MANDATE. Retrieving a dead Chinese tourist from an uninhabited, uncontested mountain may be noble work. But the responsibility to protect...
