...interest rates; masterminding a clever strategy that avoided committing Britain to a speedy adoption of the euro; an impressive record of steady growth, low inflation and high employment - are so anchored in British life that they go almost unremarked. For all that, Britons seem surprisingly uncertain what manner of man it is who should soon move from 11 to 10 Downing Street. It's the kind of question that stumps the man himself...
...students do want a greater sense of connection with their college. Think about Harvard-Yale or Yardfest 2006: Though it may be taboo to admit it, we like celebrating and cheering on Harvard, especially if we have a common enemy (such as Yale, or Eliot House).

...Arab officials complain that al-Maliki has dragged his feet on opening up the government to Iraqis who served in Saddam Hussein's regime, and that the manner in which the former dictator was executed last December was a deliberate provocation of the Sunnis. They say that al-Maliki has done little to dismantle Shi'ite militias such as the Mahdi Army, and suspect that he arranged for its leader, Moqtada Al-Sadr, to take refuge in Iran to escape arrest. Arab officials see the recent dismissal of some officers from the Iraqi armed forces as a purge orchestrated...
