Bertold Brecht had no doubt about the importance of eating well. “Food,” the German playwright wrote, “comes first, then morals.” The recent changes introduced by Harvard University Dining Services (HUDS) have shown, however, that improvements in gastronomy and morality can sometimes go hand-in-hand. The revamped menu that came into effect in September should prove beneficial to both students’ taste buds and their cholesterol levels...

The feud was not just over policy; it was personal. Last fall, Schröder saved his sinking campaign by raising the sluice gates of anti-Americanism in Germany, while his Minister of Justice compared Bush to Hitler. The Bushies repaid the compliment by dumping Berlin in the junkyard of "Old Europe," putting out the word: "Talk to the Russians, punish the French, ignore the Germans." But at the U.N. General Assembly...
