Such is the fluidity of Solomons politics (Downer mocks it as a "rather curious world") that well-informed observers expect a change of government in Honiara soon. Sogavare has come to power twice in the wake of violence: following a coup in 2000, and after last April's riots. While some of his government's moves seem erratic, the guiding purpose is clear. Under the slogan of "sovereignty," Sogavare is trying to gain control of donor funds and dominate the bureaucracy again. In New York last week to attend the gathering of the U.N. General Assembly, Honiara's delegation sought...
...hobbits. It's going to show this man was a much more nuanced and complex and deep-thinking writer than he's been given credit for." And fans who think Tolkien was not just a great storyteller but also a great stylist are similarly excited about Hurin.

...comes at the same time as BPD’s “Operation Student Shield,” introduced in 2005 specifically to combat underage drinking in Boston. And if BPD’s experience with Boston College, Boston University, and Northeastern University are any indication, students can expect harsher enforcement as Harvard expands undergraduate housing into Allston. We hope instead that BPD will reconsider its methods, and keep safety as its priority even while it must continue to enforce drinking laws...
...dessert. Though it might seem like an odd twist, Zoe’s prepares both its diner and Greek cuisine surprisingly well. The service, ambiance, and food make this diner a much better choice than the more popular Greenhouse Café, located in the heart of the Square. Expect a long wait on weekends for brunch, but most nights you can walk right in. It’s a cheap and casual locale for an evening with friends or a low-key date. Location: 1105 Massachusetts Ave. (A few blocks past the Harvard Inn) Ratings (out of 5) Overall...
