Failing to complete the decennial United States Census is costly—local and state governments can lose thousands of dollars per absentee American, while underrepresented communities risk losing additional resources and representation. Understandably, then, bureaucrats and activists are concerned about the roughly 700,000 African Americans unaccounted for in the 2000 Census. Kim M. Williams wants to help. Williams, associate professor of public policy at the Kennedy School, was appointed late last month to the Census Advisory Committee on the African American Population. “She’s one of the leading scholars on the multiracial movement...

He barely mounted a campaign in the state, in part because he wanted to start campaigning against John McCain, in part because he knew he was going to lose; he even said so in Charleston on Monday.

Hizballah, which fought Israel to a standstill in the summer war of 2006, is much stronger on the ground than the government and is certain to win any confrontation. Still, Hizballah would have much to lose in an open civil war. Not only would the chaos distract the group from the far more dangerous struggle with Israel, but it could also help radical al-Qaeda-affiliated Sunni jihadi groups infiltrate Lebanon. Tellingly, Hizballah regulars have so far stayed out of the fighting, leaving the wet work...
