...Harvard. It should be remembered, though, that a delay in the vote does not lessen Harvard’s obligation to enact some sort of wind energy proposal. The student body has overwhelmingly stated that it considers wind energy worth paying for, the school would be wise to heed that voice...
...nothing else, Specialist Wilson's grilling of Rumsfeld may finally force the military's civilian bosses to heed the concerns of soldiers like Captain Mark Chung, 37, an Army reservist who served in Iraq for nine months this year.

The presidential campaign was not a shining model of democracy but a no-holds-barred push to win at any cost--a sort of politics of mutually assured destruction. We should delay any future elections until the Democrats and Republicans agree to sign a peace...
