...State Condoleezza Rice met with Kouchner to discuss how to further turn up the heat. That's no easy feat with an intransigent Sudan still being protected by its ally China. But Kouchner, with his long history in war-torn Sudan, at least brings a new and hopeful element to the table: credibility with both sides...
...When he doesn't like a movie, he will often go out of his way to mention some attractive element amid the carnage, giving what amounts to a review that says, "Yes, but! Big but!"

Making Allston a center, not an annex, is going to be exceedingly hard—there is no magic bullet. But one foundational—not decorative—element of Allston (and therefore of Harvard) ought to be the arts alongside the sciences. A science park with dorms and high-end retail shops is not enough; my utopia Allston includes that fabulous science, the dorms and shops—alongside a cacophony of film editing studios, a jazz club, off-beat...
