...Lamont this afternoon, perhaps trying to cram for next week's midterm for Stephen Pinker's class ("Why is it so hard? It's supposed to be a Core!") or catch up in one sitting on the whole last month's worth of reading for Paul Farmer's upcoming exam, FlyBy suggests that you take a break and go outside—down by the river, to be exact...
...mail was not sent by the U.S. ambassador to the OAS, Lewis Amselem. But some of Amselem's recent public remarks are at odds with the Administration's stated support for restoring Zelaya. After Zelaya sneaked back into Honduras last month from an exile imposed by the military, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said he and Micheletti now had "the best opportunity" to sign a deal brokered by Costa Rican President Oscar Arias that would reinstall Zelaya while granting amnesty to the coup leaders.

What's more, says the diplomat, the missive suggests that insisting on Zelaya's restoration has handed a victory to Chávez and other anti...
Zelaya, however, isn't always helping his own cause. After setting up in the Brazilian embassy last month, he claimed Israeli mercenaries were trying to zap him and his entourage with high-frequency radiation. Worse, David Romero, a director at Radio Globo, one of the shuttered pro-Zelaya stations in Honduras, spoke approvingly of Hitler's efforts to "finish off" the Jews, "because if there is anyone who is harmful to [Honduras], it's the Jews and the Israelites." Romero later apologized for the remarks, but they were an unsettling reminder of the Latin-American left's increasing tendency toward...
