...have always been pro-American, which makes it painful to see the U.S.'s loss of prestige and friends. It is hard to believe that the country of Lincoln, Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower, Marshall and, let us not forget, G.I. Joe of World War II is now accused of torture, ignoring human rights and perverting the truth. Bush may have toppled Saddam Hussein, but he also pushed the U.S. off its pedestal.

Perhaps a day at Harvard shorn of cell phone, iPod, and email would be inconvenient, but it would also bring us freedom from constant...

I lean forward as Pachter talks about what to eat at a business meal in a restaurant. "Order what's easy to eat," she advises. Forget about such splatter-prone fare as spaghetti, lobster or ribs unless you're in a specialty restaurant and your dining partners will be ordering the same.
