...been lackluster so far. Only Princeton and the University of Virginia have ended their early admissions programs. Perhaps other schools have not followed suit because such an important decision takes time and careful scrutiny. Nevertheless, we still hope that next year we will be able to say that even fewer students are receiving admissions decisions in December...
...events of the last few days have starkly exposed the limits of Ahmadinejad's influence. He started out his presidency under a political cloud; his upset election victory was not really as impressive as it looked. He received only 5.7 million votes, enough to place second, but far fewer than the 20 million-plus his reformist predecessor Mohammed Khatami received in sweeping to first-round victories in 1997 and 2001.

The public may think Iraq is a mistake and a fiasco; but it may not be ready to bug out. Finally...
