...Czars have been white students, and lately they’ve been cut from the Crimson Key/House Committee/Harvard Concert Commission cloth—students who found more delight in the now-defunct Disney Singalong program than they did in increased funding for Yardfest artists. To compound the problem, this general wonkiness has been accompanied by an overarching ineptitude, from mismanaging security contracts to completely ignoring public relations. Since the post pays poorly and requires the fun czar to stay on campus while most friends move on, it seems unlikely that those drawn to apply face a choice between that spacious...
...When the General Assembly of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) passed a resolution on Sept. 17 calling on Israel to join the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and open its nuclear facilities to international inspection, Israeli officials pushed back.

But some Serbs wonder whether the government has the resolve to do anything, considering it has tolerated such groups for years. "The state has clearly lost this battle, but it can still win the war," says Zoran Dragisic, a security analyst and professor at Belgrade University, "provided our politicians finally...
...Wednesday, Sept. 23, President Barack Obama used his first-ever address to the U.N. General Assembly to try and reverse the impression that his ambitious Middle East peace effort had suffered a reversal at the hand of Israel's hawkish Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. "I am not naive," Obama told the gathered world leaders. "I know this will be difficult. But all of us must decide whether we are serious about peace or whether we only lend it lip service...
