Two weekends ago, in the late, late hours of Saturday night, the air still fresh with the stench of botched plumbing, Eliot House residents were greeted by yet another surprise. When the problem first became apparent, some were still losing themselves in the sweeping rhythms of “Since U Been Gone.” Others were, apparently, engaging in late night “study” sessions.

The reason Turkey's pro-Islamic government is so eager to join Europe, for example - and the reason it has been so disappointed by the opposition it has encountered on religious or cultural grounds - is that Europe's liberal traditions promise Turkey's conservative Muslims a degree of protection they do not have now.
