...really want to starve the beast of these governments, there are two viable options: military force or reducing oil demand. Forced change of these governments is generally drastic and unpopular—no one is clamoring for invasions of Sudan or Burma. The other option is to give pause to how world oil demand could be reduced. While demand remains at current levels, these governments will get their money and very little can be done to change these governments that have no internal incentives to improve. Thus, if we want to make a real difference we should not vent...
...mail reminders and on-campus advertising, we think that the 75 percent participation level mandated by Dean of the College Benedict H. Gross ’71 will be reached. An added incentive system would ensure the CUE’s success in this area. It would be too drastic to make evaluations mandatory (say, by withholding grades until evaluations have been turned in).

In the face of Mugabe’s institutional invulnerability, if the MDC is not willing to go to war, the only effective alternative is to completely refuse to engage and cooperate with Mugabe. The MDC should withdraw from Zimbabwe’s sham democracy. Yes, this would cost the MDC its voice in the Parliament, but currently that voice is effectively silenced regardless. If the MDC, with its widespread popular support and significant (albeit useless) representation in the Parliament, had refused to participate in the past elections...
Worried about the scope of the project and reportedly angered about being left out of the loop—University President Lawrence H. Summers is said to have learned of the SPH grant in a newspaper—central administrators took a series of drastic steps to take control of the grant...
