...Worse still, I fear that this sort of conservatism has begun to pervade the classrooms. I have heard several professors—including some who are right of center—lament: “Where did all the communist students go?” And it is true that until relatively recently there was a small but critical mass of communist, or at least Marxist, students equipped with enough oddball ideals to make even the most bleeding heart congeal...
...office again, following Parliament's decision to scrap term limits that would have forced him to retire. That long-expected bulletin came just days after his main opponent was thrown in prison on charges - vehemently denied - of treason and rape. Demonstrations have been temporarily banned. So, Achebe's lament still holds true, then? No. Fixing Africa was never as simple as changing its leaders.

...Your article about Gaza portrayed a rosy image of Zionism. That picture, however, is painted with the blood and tears of hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refugees, people who were forcibly evicted from their homes by Zionists. You should have had more balanced reporting. Waqar Haque Houston "The Settlers' Lament" was one of the most poignant and moving articles I have ever read. That the Israeli government has ignored the pleas of its own citizens is disgusting. The courageous Gaza settlers deserve kudos for resolutely staying on in the face of immense hostility. Those poor souls have paid for their...
