...Kandahar is the capital city of Afghanistan's Pashtun majority, home of both the Karzai family and Mullah Omar, leader of the Taliban. It is where the Taliban began. It has been run, in a staggeringly corrupt manner, by Hamid Karzai's brother Ahmed Wali Karzai - who, according to U.S. investigators, has extensive links to the opium trade. As the Karzai government has grown more unpopular, the situation in Kandahar has deteriorated. The Taliban own the night, slipping death threats under the doors of those who would cooperate with the government. In Iraq the military's counterinsurgency strategy turned around...
Then, a few weeks ago, authorities notified the 24-year-old student that he was not welcome back to campus - ever - despite having only one semester left to go. "I was going to continue the protests with my law degree in a more effective manner," the thin, curly-haired student told TIME. "But now I am just a simple pedestrian." His story is similar to that of other Iranians interviewed by TIME who have either been suspended or thrown out of school, lending credence to emerging reports of a widespread purge of universities by ruling hard-liners worried about...
...Wolf’s beauty myth stops and where inconsequential delight in aesthetic products begins has dominated feminist debates for decades.

The manner in which South Africa defended Semenya only underlines how obsessed with difference the country remains. When Semenya returned from Berlin, she was met by the leader of the ruling African National Congress Youth League, Julius Malema, who proclaimed the issue was not gender but race: Semenya was a victim of white officials, white media and unpatriotic white South Africans...
...Mitchell said. Despite creating chance after chance, Harvard was held scoreless for the rest of the period. While a one-goal lead is always somewhat tenuous, the Crimson defense looked completely comfortable, handling everything that the Black Knights threw at them with ease. Senior Kwaku Nyamekye embodied the controlled manner with which the Harvard back four operated. The game may have been all but over after the Crimson went up 2-0 in the 52nd minute, but Harvard was not finished. In the 62nd minute, senior Adam Rousmaniere sent the ball across goal from the right, and, after a Mitchell...
