While some may argue against Cape Wind because of their ties to Nantucket Sound, these individuals will also reap the benefits of widespread alternative energy usage. Moreover, Cape Wind will help far more people than it hurts. While it will restrict relatively few residents’ view, its economic benefits will reverberate throughout New England. Furthermore, its environmental benefits may be felt worldwide, if other wind farm projects follow the Nantucket example. The collective good, therefore, must be prioritized over localized interests, and such individual sacrifices are necessary in the global fight against climate change...
Other ideas that will be implemented include an update of the Registrar’s system so that courses may be more conveniently cross-listed, linking fundraising efforts to FAS goals, and organizing a new, more uniform system within FAS for providing research funds to faculty...
...Discussion of such nightmare scenarios may have gone out of fashion with the end of the Cold War, but the fact that Washington and Moscow maintain thousands of nuclear weapons on hair-trigger alert explains why even the modest successor to the 1991 Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) that was agreed on last week proved so elusive. And it also serves as a reminder of how dauntingly difficult it will be to achieve cuts deep enough to remove what President John F. Kennedy once called "Damocles' sword" hanging over humanity. (See pictures of President Obama in Russia...
...half of current levels. That still leaves more than enough firepower to destroy the infrastructure and war-fighting capacity of both nations many times over. What's more, the treaty focuses only on deployed warheads, and does not limit the amount of warheads, missiles and bombers that either side may keep in storage. Nor does it address the thousands of shorter-range tactical nuclear weapons on each side, or U.S. plans to build a missile-defense system in Europe, which the Russians fear may render portions of their deterrent obsolete and tip the nuclear balance of terror in favor...
...biggest obstacle to further unilateral cuts may lie not in Russian missile silos, but in the U.S. Congress. Republicans have already expressed concern that the Obama Administration seeks to undermine the U.S. nuclear deterrent. Last December, Senate Republicans signed a letter warning that they would not ratify a new START agreement until Obama pledged to "modernize" the U.S. nuclear arsenal - shorthand for a Republican-supported plan to build a new generation of nuclear weapons. Many disarmament advocates are no longer expecting dramatic cuts to be proposed in Obama's nuclear-posture review, which is due in April. Dramatic unilateral reductions...
