...Summers’ brusqueness, his abruptness, or any of his acknowledged idiosyncrasies, is a disservice to the entire Harvard community. A distracted Faculty must stop neglecting the vital business of forging ahead with the HCCR, finding a new dean of the Faculty, and rehabilitating the finances of the debt-laden FAS budget, among other things. We hope that at the next Faculty meeting, instead of walking out on the final minutes of the discussion which centered on the HCCR, it will be our educational future that takes center stage, and faculty members will leave the meeting should the boring business...
...Pentagon, which is calling for the largest defense budget since the cold war, has been floating scary threats lately. TIME has obtained a copy of a PowerPoint presentation that senior officers have been showing to groups around the U.S. warning that failure to stop Osama bin Laden and his ilk would have the same "consequences" as Europe's appeasement of the Nazis before World War II.

The hearing, set for this week in Los Angeles, stems from a lawsuit filed by the International Labor Rights Fund, which is also taking aim at another Valentine's Day staple: lovely bouquets that happen to be laden with pesticides.

A recent U.N. study found that nearly 60% of Ecuadorian flower workers, many of them children, suffered from pesticide poisoning, with such symptoms as dizziness and blurred vision. But take heart, socially...
...many Koreans still feel deep resentment toward the country. Any hope that the antipathy was restricted to an irrational few or might blow over after the Games disappeared. In a poll taken before Korea was a co-host of the 2002 football World Cup, Ohno topped Osama bin Laden as the person Koreans least wanted to attend. Neither showed. For nearly four years, it wasn't safe for Ohno to skate in Korea, but in October he arrived in Seoul for a short-track World Cup event. At the airport he was greeted by 100 police in riot gear...
...Experts continue to debate the extent to which bin Laden and Zawahiri-both believed to be in a mountainous region in northern Pakistan along the Afghan border-maintain operational control over al-Qaeda cells around the world. But their messages demonstrate that nearly five years after the September 11 attacks, despite being on the run with $25 million U.S. bounties on their heads, they are up to date on current events and remain able to communicate their views to a global audience with apparent efficiency and ease...
