...kicking a man when he is down. The wonder of modern professional sports, with their teenage soccer millionaires, mass migrations to overseas tournaments and stud fees running into six figures, is not that cheating should dominate the headlines but that so many elements of the bygone amateur ethic should survive. After all, if international football were entirely corrupt, a player sent off for charging down his opponent in sight of goal would be applauded off the pitch. That it isn't - quite - reduced to these depths is a mark of its enduring moral core and the complexity of the relationship...
...Cover Story on the rise of India was outstanding. Visitors in the past might have felt India's problems were overwhelming, but there is hope for the masses of the subcontinent. It goes to show what can be accomplished by millions of people with a work ethic, an appreciation for education, a culture of thrift and family, and a recognition of the value of being able to speak English well in the global marketplace.

Even advocates of the Army effort recognize the challenge. Employees at all levels must adopt a new work ethic, learn new systems and often work harder, with no immediate rewards.

In fact, the responsible path is the Democrats' only politically plausible choice: they will have to give yet another new Iraqi government one last shot to succeed. This time, U.S. military sources say, the measure of success is simple: Operation Forward Together, the massive joint military effort launched last week...
...laboratory animals, but it has no place in wildlife conservation. "We're trying to save animals from extinction," he says of the AAZPA, which includes 158 of the nation's best-known, most prestigious and carefully regulated zoos and aquariums. "If we were to follow the animal-rights ethic to the letter, it would be a disaster. It would lead to species extinction." Where the activists may have a point, he says, concerns conditions at 1,400 roadside menageries, traveling shows and petting zoos around the country, many of which are substandard and, rightly, ought to be shuttered...
