...sake of rebuilding; they would be better off if the federal government spent a fraction of the proposed reconstruction money on helping them resettle in other areas of the country that are not in danger of being submerged and, more importantly, have more economic opportunity than the now-moribund coast...
...office a mere six months, García has already established himself as one of the most admired and influential leaders in Latin America. Part preacher, part pedagogue, he is praised for injecting new vigor into a crippled government and moribund economy.

Even though we hear more about discothèques than dissertations, the moribund Harvard College Curricular Review champions the value of “international experiences.†In a generally boring and predictable pedagogical shakeup, internationalization has become the one “visionary†plank in the Review’s shaky platform. Indeed, if some form of the current Review proposals pass, the College will continue at least to encourage its students to take a semester off and live in a foreign country...
