...identity.The recognition of incompatibility today can save us from grave problems tomorrow. As the examples of recent EU additions Poland and Lithuania demonstrate, policies leading to EU admission can be economically beneficial by integrating less-developed economies into the greater EU community through the implementation of common standards (the Euro unit of currency, for example). Nevertheless, we should be careful with opening the scope of conformity too much and losing the perspective that only cultural identity can provide. The EU is about common grounds, and maybe there are certain fundamentally different things in today’s Turkey. Why should...
...knew far more about contract laws than they ever would. Something you’ve always wanted to tell someone: I won the 2003 Junior World Rowing Championships, rowing in the Great Britain 8. Favorite childhood toy: Legos. Fave part about Harvard: The people. Describe yourself in three words: Euro, athletic, intense. In 15 minutes you are: Writing my Justice paper. In 15 years you are: Working for a pharma company making (good) drugs...

The album is the soundtrack to brushed aluminum lounges and suede benches: smooth, lush and sensual, but ultimately vacuous. “Automatique” is a dull electronic romp, and the opening track “World of Vibrations” is dragged down by a whining euro-pop hook. It seems like Gab and Xcel have forgotten exactly why they are making music, or rather, they’ve discovered a new reason. Blackalicious is eyeing the Black Eyed Peas’ comfortable main-stream niche and doing their damndest to squeeze alongside. In fact, they?...
...Fazio melodrama comes as Italy--the world's seventh largest economy--continues to struggle with European economic integration. Cross-border bank mergers are common in the euro zone, but not in Italy, where the banking system remains largely a fortress under the eye of the all-powerful central banker. Although Fazio no longer sets the price of money, he has wielded every ounce of his notable clout. His stated goal is for Italian banks to be at the service of Italian businesses. In practice, this has meant keeping foreign firms out. It's a shortsighted view and dangerous: some blame...
