...irony of Dean Hammonds’s timing notwithstanding, it is commendable that President Faust went to Kirkland on Monday evening to reassure students. That night, she was visible and accountable. And yet we clearly need to reform the emergency contact systems,so that only accurate information is disseminated and such information minimizes fear and stress. In the same light, the administration must use those principles of openness and honesty to reform the way it involves students in decision-making beyond public safety crises, particularly when these decisions affect students’ lives at Harvard. Only through dialogue...
...Despite the avalanche of acronyms, when an emergency materialized on Monday, chaos and fear spread through e-mail lists for an hour while all the above systems remained silent. The Kirkland master’s e-mail to his House residents beat the university’s “emergency” text message by almost 15 minutes.

Although the two men proclaimed a shared commitment to having Israelis and Palestinians live in peace, their views on how to get there remain substantially at odds. Now, as Obama puts the finishing touches on a new peace plan to be unveiled shortly - perhaps when he addresses the Muslim world from Cairo next month - the question facing the Administration is how to pursue its strategy with an unenthusiastic Israeli partner...
...Obama on Monday didn't press Netanyahu to reverse his position on the two-state solution, but the Administration has begun pushing insistently for Israel to freeze settlement activity in the West Bank. That practical step toward the two-state destination will likely be the focus, for now, but the Administration is hoping to persuade Arab states to help by offering Israel fresh gestures of recognition in exchange for doing so. To that end, Obama will meet with Egypt's President, Hosni Mubarak, next week. And when the U.S. President meets Abbas, his focus will be both on relieving Israel...
