...extremism; if all avenues for legitimate dissent are eliminated, extremists become the only real independent actors. Russia’s current power structure is unable to free itself of the old paradigm: “to govern is to control and to manipulate.” Open and equal discussion—prerequisites for and results of a vibrant NGO environment—is a sign of weakness in such paradigm. In 2005, the consequences of closing the avenues of legitimate dissent became evident in the capital of the North Caucasian provence of Kabardino-Balkaria. Although most of the local...
...winner, “I got plastered with him when...” Instead, I think Harvard is such a cool college because I have the chance to be impressed by my peers every day. For example, my roommate is one of the smartest and kindest people I know, equally capable of solving Ec 10 p-sets and romantic problems.

Commentators boldly predicted that true two-party politics had finally arrived in Japan. They were wrong. The DPJ has not yet proven to be a political equal of the LDP. It has consistently missed opportunities, failed to define a coherent message, staked its reputation on trivial issues and repeatedly imploded amid avoidable public embarrassments.

...Hindus, or Jews. One might argue that because Christianity was the old norm and now pervades our culture, it does not need protection in the way Harvard’s newer religions do. But this is to mistake the debate, which is not about protection and tolerance, but about equal respect. Without respect, Harvard’s Christians will always curtain a part of themselves and consequently never feel comfortable about being Christians here. That Harvard is no longer the Puritan institution it was more than 300 years ago is no travesty: the school is bound to become less Christian...
