However, I hasten to point out one grievous error of transposition. In your third to final paragraph, you mistakenly refer to Yale’s esteemed graduate, Charles Montgomery Burns (more commonly known as C. Montgomery Burns) as “Montgomery C. Burns.” As the president of Yale’s only official student organization dedicated to his life and work, I could not let this error go uncorrected...
...Pyongyang says it needs nukes to protect itself from American warmongers. But its defensive weapon of choice is destabilizing to Asia. It risks touching off an arms race as technologically advanced countries, including Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, hasten to build nuclear equalizers of their own. Pyongyang is under immense pressure to deal, and a look around the region offers a snapshot of how stressful life will be for the Kim regime if this week's talks founder. Russia, an old cold war ally, is currently staging a massive military exercise near the North Korean border, together with...
...Word: Plastics,” I found myself frustrated with the author’s narrow view of acceptable career paths ( April 23 ). Not cut out to be an investment banker?

I have had many people in my office saying 'Please...
Even more disheartening is GESO’s audacity in comparing itself to Locals 34 and 35, composed of Yale clerical and service workers respectively. Those who hasten to sympathize with any pro-labor cause should not delude themselves: GESO is composed of a minority of Yale’s graduate students whose education is paid for, whose room and board are subsidized and who are well on their way to professorships. It is telling that the only thing GESO is demanding is formal recognition; after all, Yale’s graduate students already have what most striking laborers demand...
