...least one aspect, however, Harvard has fallen behind institutions such as the University of California, Northeastern, and even Nassau Community College. In terms of addressing climate change, we lag behind not only these three colleges, but also behind almost 500 colleges who have pledged to go “climate neutral.” Each of these schools has committed to achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions, but our university is conspicuously absent. As a world and university leader, Harvard has a duty to commit to setting a date for climate neutrality and so demonstrating that sustainability must...

From 1939 to 1960, there was one - but he was gone after a single term. When the young Hillary Rodham and Bill Clinton labored here, the Texas G.O.P. had grown to an asterisk.

There are some encouraging signs. Bank lending rates are now in the 10% range, down from 17% in 1980, and mortgages have fallen from 15% to a more affordable 10%. Productivity is up, and the rate of wage hikes is down. But none of these signs of improving health are proof that the rebound will persist or that Thatcherism is a success. Although the Prime Minister is convinced that Britain...

...Reinado, smiled. "For over 20 years, they have experience with the Indonesian army chasing them," says Isaac, who spent two months in the jungle with Reinado and Salsinha. "The reason why they cannot catch them is they don't have any cooperation with the local community." Isaac has since fallen out with the rebels over their armed activities, but says the single battalion of Australian troops hunting them are wasting their time. "There are the hills, the mountains, caves, rivers to hide in. Indonesia had 18 battalions in Timor," he says, referring to the time Jakarta tried to suppress...

...Pakistan's President is elected by the legislature, as Musharraf was last October, although opponents continue to question the legal basis of his candidacy. But three opinion polls released this week reveal widespread antipathy towards the President. The International Republican Institute reported that Musharraf's job approval rating had fallen to a new low of 15% at the end of January, compared with 72% disapproval. A second survey, conducted by Terror Free Tomorrow, found 70% of Pakistanis wanting Musharraf to resign immediately. And a BBC World Service poll has found that a majority of Pakistanis believe Musharraf's resignation will...
