...instead of joining the WRC, Harvard has been content with membership in a far more lenient, industry-run group. The Fair Labor Association (FLA) is notorious for doing as little as possible. Created by the Apparel Industry Partnership four years ago, the FLA did not issue a public report until June of this year—and when it did so, it refused to release the names or locations of factories, shielding offending factories from any public scrutiny and rendering the reports themselves impossible to verify. Further, the FLA has no provision in its code of conduct against sexual harassment...
...Facing Reality," Michael Elliott was far too lenient in his assessment of the situation this Administration finds itself facing with Iraq, Israel and radical Palestinians [WORLD, Sept. 22]. Gone are the Administration's chest beating and taunting of enemies. Reality has set in. The Bush doctrine, our new national defense strategy, with all its unilateralism, militarism, boldness and unrealistic dreams, is dying right where it began, in the deserts of Iraq--a complete failure. The U.S. has not taken a bold new step toward solving all its problems in one clean sweep but has compounded them immeasurably, creating a monster...
...Shifting Strategy In "Facing Reality," Michael Elliott was far too lenient in his assessment of the situation this Administration finds itself facing with Iraq, Israel and radical Palestinians [Sept. 22].

...issues will be decided at the closed-door meeting; but handicappers number the conservative bloc at 20 to 25 of the 38 primates. Until the last few weeks, Nigeria's Archbishop Peter Akinola had threatened to lead like-minded churches out of the Communion if it were too lenient on the U.S. But he apparently no longer feels the need. "We are not breaking away," Akinola told TIME. "It is the heretics who will leave the church; we will send them away if they do not repent." Added Archbishop of Tanzania Donald Mtetemela, "If it means cutting...
...agreement that ECUSA will not make it through the London meeting unscathed. The worst sanction would be its de facto expulsion. (Outright dismissal is beyond Williams' authority, but he could achieve a similar effect by declaring his communion with them "impaired" and withholding invitations to Communion events.) The most lenient outcome that conservatives might accept would be a theological knuckle rap and a probationary period during which ECUSA would be expected to repent by retracting Robinson's episcopacy. American liberals insist that the primates have never produced that specific a demand. And since their meetings customarily end with a statement...
