...Since World War II—even during the supposed libertarian love-fest and free-market free-for-all of the 1980s—states have invested in their people as well as forsaken integration and cooperation when prudent. Market intervention has always been part of the globalization process. But, too often, the market is viewed as a multilateral institution and the state as a pesky force of isolationism. Despite this false perception, we should continue to see global cooperation and so-called “nationalistic” government action in tandem for the foreseeable future. They?...

Creationists will point out that the Darwin love-fest among scientists amounts to little more than devotion to a religious leader, reinforcing the views of the nearly half of Americans who don’t believe in evolution anyway.

And even in the midst of a deepening financial crisis, administrators said Harvard's green commitment will continue unabated...
...Every fall, Queen’s holds Homecoming, a debauch-fest that apparently makes Harvard’s tailgate look like a coffee klatch. This year’s Homecoming, however, smashed records and more than a few windows—police handed out at least 600 fines and arrested 138 people. A local emergency room physician declared that, “loss of life is inevitable” if Homecoming remains on the calendar. Kingston residents, up in arms for years about the chaos in their streets, stepped up their lobbying efforts, and Homecoming started earning the university some...
