...public record anyhow. This argument may have been true as late as 20 years ago, but today we live in a Google world. A campus newspaper and its digital archives are far more accessible than any public record. In fact, to access any public record, one would need to exert a considerable degree of effort—the easiest course of action might be to hire a background-checking service to examine a specific individual at one’s own cost, approximately $50-60 per name. Moreover, a public record of an arrest can be purged, whereas online archives...

The risk is that a nuclear-armed Iran would use its regional primacy to become the dominant foreign power in Iraq, threaten Israel and make it harder for Washington to exert its will in the region. And it could provoke Sunni countries in the region, like Saudi Arabia and Egypt, to start nuclear programs of their own to contain rising Shi'ite power...
...play - it's the pain later on, especially at night, that first brings the patients in.

Reif Cohen, citing Freston's stellar record at the helm of MTV, predicted that moviemakers won't like...
...says he thinks China's patience may be wearing thin. "This missile crisis will be the beginning of the end," Huang predicts. "It is forcing Beijing to see [that] the consequences of North Korea's actions are all bad for China." Says Green: "I think China is going to exert far more pressure on North Korea than they have in the past, but will still be very concerned about sanctions or other tools the U.S. can use to destabilize North Korea. The Chinese are desperately trying to find that sweet spot in the middle." People have been scouring the Korean...
