...artists-in-residence. An emphasis on teaching and interaction with undergraduates, in the shape of formal classes, informal extracurricular sessions, or study groups akin to the current Institute of Politics Fellows Program would benefit both students and the artists who would find in Harvard a community in which to live and create. Among the report’s suggestions was a new undergraduate Dramatic Arts concentration, and Harvard could certainly create avenues for more performance-oriented study within existing concentrations—like music—that are currently more oriented toward history or theory. Certain measures can be enabled...
...that country up to 58,000. If Afghanistan were as urbanized as Iraq and if the Taliban insurgency had an urban base, then a troop surge on this scale might have an impact. But Afghanistan is physically larger than Iraq and more than 75 percent of all Afghans live in remote rural communities where the Taliban now has a significant base of support.

In areas of high drug activity, the population has little choice but to align itself with the traffickers, says Godoy, the former Guatemalan Interior Ministry official. Plus, in a country where some 80% of citizens live below the poverty line, traffickers pay well for cooperation. "If [a trafficker] asks a person to shine a light at a [clandestine] airstrip and they're going to pay more than that person has earned all year, it's likely they'll do it," says Godoy...
