...object to your use of the phrase "the Church's penance still lies ahead” in the Crimson Staff editorial “Papal Penance” that was published on Apr. 8, 2010. Although doubtless you intended it to refer to the small proportion of clergy and laity complicit in acts both sinful and criminal, the Church is comprised of all baptized Catholics worldwide, and by implying that all these people have yet to receive penance for sexual abuse, you (however accidentally) slander the names of more than a billion people. Furthermore, your "specific reforms" which should...
...further discussion of the O. A. is quite to the point--he himself realizes its superiority to any E., however A. His illustration includes one of the key "Wake Up the Grader" phrases--"It is absurd." What force! What gall! What fun! "Ridiculous," "hopeless," "nonsense," on the one hand; "doubtless," "obvious," "unquestionable" on the other, will have the same effect. A hint of nostalgic, anti-academic languor at this stage as well may well match the grader's own mood. "It seems more than obvious to one entangled in the petty quibbles of contemporary Medievalists--at times, indeed, approaching...
...Nevertheless, just around the corner from the school is a Protestant church, as well as a Starbucks and a Dunkin' Donuts.

What reigns in Indonesia, instead, is waning optimism for Obama's efforts to re-engage...
...their guns cocked. That night, as Soviet-made MiGs strafe the city, our gardener and cleaner Mir Ali patrols the garden with an ax and a plastic baseball bat. The next day, the radio proclaims the birth of the People's Republic of Afghanistan. Tanks are wreathed in flowers, "doubtless following the prescription of some revolutionary handbook," my father writes home. The portrait painter down the street begins churning out likenesses of Afghanistan's new President, Marxist-Leninist Nur Mohammed Taraki. (See pictures of hidden Afghanistan...
McDonald's has doubtless benefited from the weak economy - its low-cost, seemingly healthy Snack Wraps (soft tortillas filled with chicken, lettuce and cheese) are perfectly positioned to feed a nation simultaneously worried about money and fat - but the company's boom actually began in 2006, before the recession hit. A major reason was the improvement in its menu. A glowing Feb. 2 Goldman Sachs analyst's report on McDonald's is typical of Wall Street sentiments. The report says McDonald's is "stepping up investment when peers cannot" and cites the "strong new product pipeline" as a key factor...
