...mentor teacher and I taught Othello to our Prep for AP English class and, in my rereading of the tragedy, I found one character who struck me as unmistakably familiar. This one character has knowledge, power, and smarts, knows when to show sympathy, or when to march up indignation. He is the supreme politician. This one character struck me as devoutly Harvardian in his understanding and use of human weakness. I could envision him campaigning amongst important friends for student office, dashing up to an extra-curricular office in Hilles, or whispering knowingly with a TF after section. This...
More important than absolute prices, though, is how they relate to what people earn. To gauge housing affordability, the data shop Fiserv compares the cost of houses with household income. By that count, homes nationwide at the end of March were only 7% more expensive than they were in 2000, before the bubble. In some markets - including Phoenix, Atlanta, Las Vegas and San Jose, Calif. - they were actually cheaper.

And, as Sebelius noted, "Typically parents do not keep their children home if their classmates come down with the flu." That...
...overwhelming force against peaceful dissenters is a serious indictment of his administration," says Jayasooria. August 5's raw display of force is also a far cry from the tolerant and liberal atmosphere inculcated by the fatherly former PM Abdullah Badawi, who was forced to resign in March for leading the ruling 13-party Barisan Nasional coalition to its worst ever performance in 2008 polls. The mysterious death of an opposition political aide in July has compounded critics' concerns. In mid-July Teoh Beng Hock, 30, was found dead beneath the 14th story window of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission offfices...
