...Uneasy or not, Rogers is expanding on the agenda of cross-school fundraising, assembling a new team of development officers this year with the explicit aim of “serving the University more broadly.” Even a few months before the end of the fiscal year, Rogers’ office has already raised more for interdisciplinary enterprises than the development office did all of last year...
...creatively fuzzy when asked directly if he would meet with Ahmadinejad - and he has begun to point out that the real leaders of Iran are the clerics led by the Supreme Leader Ayatullah Ali Khamenei, who controls Iran's foreign policy and its nuclear program. Obama has also been explicit about the need to start with lower-level talks, a presidential summit coming only if there were progress in those negotiations.

...line with recommendations from the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change - and weaker than the Warner-Lieberman bill, which is seen by many environmentalists as a compromise unequal to the scale of the cuts needed to avert dangerous warming. Though he didn't make this explicit in his speech, under his cap-and-trade plan McCain would initially give away most of the permits to emit carbon to industries, rather than auctioning them off, as Obama and Clinton would. (This means that under McCain's plan, carbon prices are likely to be lower than under the Democrats...
