...wasn’t going to be able to disseminate concrete information about Scotland to my peers and if the trip was a fleeting assortment of events, what was the point of the weekend in the end? To be honest, I’m not so sure. While I’d like to believe that the government—along with New Jersey-based (!) PR agency MWW Group—strategically planned their efforts to recruit a member of The Crimson’s staff for the sake of Scotland, the lack of systematization to their efforts left them...
Here is a well-meant word of advice for France's presidential hopefuls: kindly return from whatever planet you are on as soon as possible. France needs you to lead an honest debate on the challenges facing the nation.

And last August, before Senate Armed Services Committee hearing, it was Abizaid who said Iraq was "as bad as I've ever seen it," and that it may be on the verge...
...allowed to absorb the intricacies of Iranian society slowly, without too much instruction by tense parents. The benefit of this is style is that you don't actively teach your kids to lie. My friend, the one with the prayer DVD, follows this approach, and the result is an honest child who recently told his teacher, "my parents don't pray." Nothing happened, but much could have. My friend thinks it isn't right to engage in reverse-inculcation at home. "Then how are we any different from them?" she asks. "He should have the right to choose himself...
