...Christian in the White House Felt Betrayed" [Oct. 23]: As a member of an evangelical Lutheran congregation, I do not feel betrayed or disenfranchised by the story of the White House's political maneuverings to gain Christian conservatives' votes. I was never inspired by this President's profession of faith--not by the story of his born-again triumph over alcohol or by his wish to help the poor and needy and certainly not by his purported Christian values toward his fellow man. On the other hand, his lack of statesmanship, his arrogant management style and his lack of intellectual...
...fact, the Sunnis may have the most to gain from partition. The Sunni insurgency feeds on popular hostility not just to the Americans but to a Shi'ite-dominated Iraqi government.

...Mumbai. Meanwhile, students from both those countries are coming to U.S. schools in greater numbers. The Council of Graduate Schools study found that first-time enrollment from India grew 32 percent—the fastest rate of any country—followed by China at 20 percent. The large gain for China is “particularly noteworthy” because enrollment fell 8 percent in 2004, and only increased 3 percent in 2005, according to the report. Harvard was one of the schools that saw a drop in applications from Chinese students after Sept. 11, prompting Summers to write...
...proposal would be uncontroversial; 34 other states do not restrict grocery store sales of liquor. But liquor stores have much to lose from the passage of Question One—they currently control over 85 percent of wine sales statewide—and grocery stores have much to gain. But putting aside the special business interests, the average Massachusetts citizen will be far better served by the passage of the licensing initiative than by its rejection. Ending the virtual monopoly that liquor stores enjoy on wine sales will translate into dramatic savings—as much as $36 million...
