...does the Coop exist? To carry textbooks, offer posters in September, sell a few clothes, perhaps, and offer a good deal on CDs--if you get a frequent buyer's card and take advantage of student discounts. But outside of that, we can't really say. It's time to jettison those weak departments, even if they do fill up all the space in that huge building. Daniel Altman...
...subtle attempt to undermine Israel's legitimacy by selective historical omissions and use of quotations is an attempt to have his argument both ways. Tadros clearly realizes that he will get nowhere with his argument if he explicitly calls Israel's right to exist into question. To do so would undermine his stance as a proponent of the "basic right of self-determination."

A strong civic society, a middle class and a culture of law are basic conditions for a stable democracy in any country. But these preconditions are only taking shape in Russia. For these reasons, the danger of an authoritarian regime will exist here for some time yet. Two scenarios for sliding into authoritarianism...
...Berkowitz explains. "People disposed to aggression because of their perception of the world feel powerful around guns, and those guns can prime their aggressive ideas. Weapons may not be a precipitating influence, but they are likely a reinforcing factor. Guns aren't neutral. They create aggression that wouldn't exist in the absence of guns...
