...year-old farmer from the rice-basket province of Hubei, he was praised last year by the Communist Party-owned China Youth Daily for leading a movement to impeach a village chief who residents say was corrupt. The paper told Lu's tale: launching a five-day hunger strike, getting roughed up by thugs and investigating political conditions in other villages across China. When his campaign finally forced his village chief to resign in 2003, the paper said, Lu emerged as "the front runner of peasant grassroots democracy...
...Katrina matching-funds drive is expected to raise a total that tops last winter’s tsunami effort. Now imagine, for example, that instead of giving aid to hurricane relief groups here in the United States, Harvard had chosen to donate more than $250,000 to anti-hunger efforts in Malawi, where aid agencies estimate that 5 million people face potential death-by-famine in the coming months.

The party is being put on by Adult Swim, and more specifically their college representatives from Harvard, Ross E. Arbes ’08 and Robert I. Padnick...
...tainted-goods charges are not unique to the Getty. For decades, ancient artifacts have been illicitly dug up and sold to see-no-evil museums. But the Getty was a notoriously aggressive collector, and some in the art world believe that its hunger and spending habits encouraged looting and theft. Ironically, True was responsible in 1995 for the Getty's adopting a strict policy of buying only well-documented pieces. "She extricated the museum from an ethical morass," says University of Virginia professor of art history Malcolm Bell. "It's extremely sad that the one person who understood that...
