...While the inner machinations of University Hall remain unclear, it is clear that administrators are paying lip service to the importance of student life while little progress is being made beyond projects previously in the works. When, for instance, will FAS begin to make tangible improvements in undergraduate teaching? When will it take steps to reinvigorate house life? The diversion of focus from issues such as these is evidence enough that there needs to be a long term change in University Hall’s attitude...
...target poles. The perpetual sunshine in most of the extreme north and south means plenty of light for energy-producing solar panels; the perpetual darkness in the shadowed polar regions means a steady supply of water ice, which can be harvested for consumption and fuel manufacture.

For all the lip service paid to Afghanistan as a war that cannot be lost, there seems to be a lack of political will to do what is necessary...

Syria's price for good behavior in Lebanon and Iraq is the Golan Heights, occupied by Israel for nearly 40 years. Labor governments negotiated towards that end with Syria, but the current Israeli government insists that the Golan is part of the Jewish State...
