...Outcome Document devotes just one line to an expression of remembrance for the Holocaust, but it dedicates two entire paragraphs to an exhortation for “all international sporting bodies to promote…a world of sports free from racism.” Durban II??s resolutions would be comical if they were not so offensive to the survivors of genocides and to those who are currently threatened...

...Since World War II??even during the supposed libertarian love-fest and free-market free-for-all of the 1980s—states have invested in their people as well as forsaken integration and cooperation when prudent. Market intervention has always been part of the globalization process. But, too often, the market is viewed as a multilateral institution and the state as a pesky force of isolationism.

Similarly, the XM2001 Crusader, a new howitzer that promised both mobility and accuracy but delivered neither, was struck from the list in 2002. But unlike these projects—which were real Cold War dinosaurs—the Raptor has proven itself to be a highly effective and necessary part of the Air Force?...

...focus on the undergraduate experience in light of fiscal challenges. A major criticism of the UC is its inability to effect change via the bureaucratic channels of University Hall. While this is a fair critique that likely won’t be remedied until the implementation of Dowling II??s Report on College Governance, the perception that we are therefore incapable of improving student life is both defeatist and false. As the sole arbiter of the $75 Student Activities Fee, the UC must be ready to leverage its resources to minimize the impact of the crisis...
