...reader has never particularly enjoyed—for me, it was Wallace Stevens’ “Disillusionment of Ten O’Clock”—Paglia’s analysis will help the reader understand its merits. But, while her analysis will unquestionably enrich a reader’s understanding of an already-beloved work, it may not advance it to the next level...
Iran's announcement that it has mastered the art of enriching uranium was greeted with a predictable chorus of alarm. But despite expressions of grave concern from Washington and London to Moscow and Beijing, Tehran's nuclear "breakthrough" doesn't necessarily diminish chances for a diplomatic solution. On the contrary, Tehran has long insisted it wants a compromise that both addresses Western concerns and upholds what it says is its "right" to enrich uranium, particularly in a research setting. The latest announcement may well give the Iranians room to show greater flexibility at the bargaining table without appearing to back...
...itself is. But having assured its public that Western efforts to prevent Iran from mastering the fuel cycle have failed, the Iranian leadership may have actually given itself some new room to compromise. The regime reportedly wants a compromise that accepts that Iran's nuclear reactor fuel will be enriched in Russia or elsewhere abroad, but allows it to maintain, under international scrutiny, the small research facility that completed this week's experiment. The U.S. and Europe have flatly rejected that proposal, because they had hoped to deny Iran the means of attaining even the know-how to enrich uranium...
...Europe for now is not considering military force or even economic sanctions as a potential solution, the diplomat said, but agrees that concerted pressure from all the big powers is necessary if Iran is going to be persuaded to re-suspend its efforts to enrich uranium and resume talks. "None of these problems will be solved by force," he said. "There must be a relationship between instruments we use and added value we offer." Incentives could include security guarantees, he said, and will probably require some kind of dialogue with the U.S., the diplomat said. But he acknowledged there...
...Condoleezza Rice telephoned Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov but made little headway. She plans to visit Berlin, Paris and Britain this week in an effort to hammer out a statement that can win unanimous backing in the Security Council. Meanwhile, Tehran has sped up research work on the uranium enrichment that lies at the heart of the dispute. Diplomats who have been briefed on Iran's program by international inspectors say the country has developed the ability to enrich uranium, the first step on the pathway to the Bomb. "They're progressing much faster than we thought they would," says...
