...advisers know that diplomatic successes play well in foreign op-ed pages. But they also realize the Prime Minister must begin to show that he can address the pain Japanese voters are feeling at home-while reassuring a worried LDP that he can still lead the party to victory in the crucial July elections.

I don’t think that women need to be separated from men in order to learn, and I don’t believe that separating students by gender is the most effective way to prepare them for co-ed colleges. However, if there is something I appreciate about my time at an all-girls school, it is the philosophy that manifests itself in my unusual Valentine’s neutrality. Depending on someone else to determine your enjoyment of something is fruitless. Let’s be serious: Valentine?...
