...Sizing Up Blair's Legacy Michael Elliott overlooked one crucial point in summing up Blair's legacy: his lack of enthusiasm for a unified Europe [May 14]. Blair adhered to the conservative ideal of splendid isolation, obstructing constructive ideas for bringing European countries together. His position helped create a Europe in crisis, searching for its identity as the constitution was rejected. So while I am sad to see Blair go, I am sad mostly for what he could have been: a founding father of a secular, democratic and prosperous union of European peoples. It was not to be.

...only way to survive. If America really wants to fix its obscene crime and incarceration rates, it has to examine the causes, one of which is a high rate of recidivism. People return to crime for a number of reasons, but without question, one is that they face a lack of alternatives. Discrimination against CORI-holders, particularly when the record is irrelevant to the job for which someone is applying leads to higher rates of recidivism, which hovered at nearly 70 percent in the 1990s.People with CORIs are highly concentrated in specific urban areas, so that the issue of CORI...

However, when media controversy arises, the Foundation’s policies and initiatives may become misconstrued from a lack of fully understanding the Foundation’s mission. This occurred in two articles published in the Crimson this week: Monday’s “Dishonest Discourse” (column, May 21) by Lucy M. Caldwell ’09 and Wednesday’s “Dr. Counter Should Apologize?...
...Mica says the real problem is Congressional politics, not the Architect of the Capitol or a lack of oversight. "I could directly attribute the delays and cost overruns to members of Congress who couldn't make a decision, or made them and they weren't good," he says. For example, Mica says that Congress initially was going to reserve 160,000 sq. feet of undeveloped space inside the CVC facility for future office use. But in 2001, lawmakers realized it would be cheaper to develop the office space immediately. This change caused at least a year in delays, which...
