...crossword-puzzle whiz, an activist for human rights in Latin America, a budding neuropsychologist, and an aspiring scholar of contemporary China comprise the four Harvard seniors rewarded Marshall Scholarships for the two academic years following graduation. Kyle A. Mahowald ’09, John M. Sheffield ’09, Emma Y. Wu ’09, and Andrew C. Miller ’09 all received the prestigious scholarship, which will fund two years of study for a graduate level degree at any university in the United Kingdom.

This report does so deftly, mostly eschewing wonkiness in favor of stressing common bonds. Its series of "modest, pragmatic recommendations" are couched to show that the U.S. and Latin America are natural bedfellows. It's not that we have a moral obligation to turn the other cheek when Hugo Chavez dubs George Bush a "devil," or when pockets of America inaccurately assign blame for U.S. unemployment levels on Latin migrants. It's that doing so will, for example, help...
