...Republican Party as the "anti-Big Government party" and the "party that understands war" while calling the Democrats the "party of big spending." I guess Kristol was away when his party reconvened Congress to interfere with the decision to end Terri Schiavo's life; sent gallant troops to Iraq ill-equipped, undermanned and without any strategic plan to win and keep the peace; and rolled up the largest deficits in our history...
...military? Because of the ridiculously restrictive rules of engagement. The terrorists are brutal, and until we decide to retaliate in the same way, we should stay out of any conflict.

...strong and better than its ugly parent, first-year advising. Fundamentally different—and fundamentally flawed—the first-year advising system pairs incoming freshmen with proctors and non-resident Harvard officers who, more often than not, know little about the undergraduate curriculum and are ill-matched to their interests.

A major advantage of the sophomore advising system is that it exists within the context...

He had been involved in negotiations with the previous Sri Lankan government along with the LTTE's then chief negotiator Anton Balasingham. When Balasingham fell ill and later died, Tamilselvan took over as head of the LTTE team and met with representatives of the current government in Geneva last year. His death means the LTTE has lost both of its main negotiators and, with the country sliding towards a full scale war, it is likely that...
