...World War II proved less of a platform for antiwar activists; the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor coupled with the global effort to halt fascism and a determination to pull the country out of the Great Depression combined to limit antiwar sentiment. Vietnam, however, was an entirely different ballgame. Unpopular from the start, the war incited the most vocal and widespread antiwar sentiment in U.S. history. Draft-dodging, protests and the burning of draft cards and American flags abounded in a protest movement that had something for everyone. Young adults from middle-class backgrounds - hippies - allied with working-class opponents...
Let’s be fair to the REP. OFS plans to limit dispensers in all dining halls eventually; Winthrop merely jumped ahead. We also have an administration that stops hot breakfast to balance budgets. It will do anything for a buck—except fire a dean. Two years ago, REP was encouraged to track temperatures in rooms for the manager of building systems so he could see which were too warm and then lower their heat—and save money. When students shivered, REP got the blame. The administration may again be using REP as a front...

...future of the Fair Trade - coffee movement is in question, as some backers raise concerns about whether it has reached the limit of how much it can help. In a private-industry survey last year of 179 Fair Trade coffee farmers in Central America and Mexico, a copy of which TIME obtained, more than half said their families have still been going hungry for several months a year. "When I got the results, I was shocked," says Rick Peyser, director of social advocacy for Green Mountain Coffee Roasters in Vermont, the Fair Trade company that commissioned the survey...
...Federal Government has tried to regulate stationary sources of greenhouse-gas emissions. But again, the details are far from certain. It's not clear yet what "best available technology" will mean for carbon - especially in the case of new coal plants, which have no real way to drastically limit carbon emissions. And the rule is certain to come under attack from industry opponents; by putting only large emitters under the proposed rule, the EPA saves a lot of expense for small businesses but could be accused of being unfair to larger ones...
