...while his feared Ministry for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice enforces Taliban law through religious police with kohl-rimmed eyes, wearing black turbans, who crack whips at recalcitrant mosquegoers and banish women to the window-blocked confines of their homes. Life is severely constricted by an endless list of rules creating a variant of Islam never seen before, say Muslim scholars. In a country in which there is no television and only Islamic radio, Omar shows little knowledge of or concern for the outside world. When officials and clerics of the Taliban, under international pressure, debated whether...
...high-octane fury somehow appropriate in a country sitting on one of the world's fuel tanks. In just over a generation, the area has grown from barren desert to lurid long-haul stopover to modern metropolis.

Perhaps it is no coincidence that, save some privileged encounters with exceptional teachers like Agee Professor of Social Ethics Robert Coles ’50, the Rev. Peter Gomes, and Timothy McCarthy ’93, I have found truth...
...military action, though slowly taking shape, certainly has yet to provide its greatest degree of uncertainty. If investors are trickling back into stocks, the hesitance with which they?re doing it suggests an extreme vulnerability to another shock, another stab of depression. The possibilities, of course, are endless...
