...healthcare. Dr. Robert K. Crone, HMI’s president and CEO, said yesterday that Monday’s ceremonial ground-breaking represented a “milestone in tangible progress in the region.” The Harvard Medical School Dubai Center (HMSDC), expected to be completed in mid-2007, will house post-doctoral education and research facilities that will turn newly graduated doctors into specialists, according to Amanda Pullen, a vice president at HMI. The HMSDC will include the Maktoum-Harvard Library, financed by a $13.6 million gift from Dubai Crown Prince and United Arab Emirates Defence Minister...

In March 2003 a dozen senior Administration officials met in the Old Executive...
...national security, suggesting it would be akin to blessing an Islamo-terrorist “infiltration” of our ports, are both sensationalist and misleading. Attempts to halt its progress are misguided. The deal, which was approved by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States in mid-January, would change next to nothing beyond the letterhead of the shipping manifests. U.S. longshoremen will keep their jobs, their unions will continue to organize them, and the majority of managers will stay as well. The Coast Guard and individual port authorities will still be responsible for port safety...
