...lesson can be drawn from the events of past weeks, it’s that Harvard is not above politics. Harvard is, however, institutionally impoverished when it comes to facilitating fairness and transparency in its politics. We hope that the formation of a University senate will enrich campus-wide dialogue by facilitating communication amongst the faculties, between the faculties and the administration, and between Harvard and the world outside of the academy. As an organized and institutionalized body, the University senate would serve to mitigate the many competing interests that currently clash...

But not even moderate Iranian leaders accept Western demands that Iran completely abandon the right, guaranteed under the NPT, to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes.

In short, it's scary stuff, which is why the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confronted Iran late last month about a secret Iranian research effort called the Green Salt Project. Iran has long maintained that it wants to enrich uranium to generate nuclear power, not to make a bomb. But disclosure of the project--and its apparent links to the testing of high explosives--seems to have been just what Washington and its allies needed to send Iran to the U.N. Security Council for possible sanctions, a measure the IAEA...
