...charged with genocide and crimes against humanity. By some estimates, it would take 100 years for Rwanda's regular court system to wade through the hundreds of thousands of other crimes - including murder, torture and looting. So the government opted to expedite the process by firing up the gacaca network. In so doing, they have selected a system that is as much about reconciliation as it is about punishment. If suspects confess, they receive lighter sentences and the tribunals use the information to prepare cases against alleged accomplices. Testimony is also used to educate Rwandans about the genocide; many people...
...bright colors of General Gao’s chicken and Hawaiian punch will be replaced by an equally-splendid tapestry of student and professional design. Contradictions: A Charity Fashion Show will benefit Spheres of Exchange, the Boston branch of the non-profit Refugee Women’s Network, a group that “serves refugee and immigrant women through leadership training, education and advocacy.” The event is sponsored here at Harvard by AMBLE, Aspiring Minority Business Leaders & Entrepreneurs, who have worked to bring the designs of hot labels like Vivienne Tam, Shin Choi, Y&Kei, Joseph...
...appear on a certain cable news network that shall remain nameless (yes, careerism and any potential ramifications unfortunately factor in) to discuss the recent controversy over Larry’s comments and, more specifically, the Faculty’s reaction and prospective vote of no confidence.

...woman from the cable network called me early Monday morning to talk about the program’s procedure, as well as feel out my personal position on the issue. Admittedly, it was a precarious situation, as it was difficult to know whether I was speaking to her on behalf of the Crimson Staff, or simply regarding my own personal stance on the President’s faux pas. More importantly, however, I was wondering why the latter would be important. If I was coming on the show to discuss how Harvard’s student newspaper came...
...Your story described how Khan's global smuggling network sold nuclear materials. I am not defending Khan, but I must point out that the U.S. has the largest arsenal of nuclear weapons and is the only country to have used them on human beings. In the process of removing Saddam Hussein, the U.S. showered conventional bombs on Iraq, killing innocent citizens. The torturing of prisoners in Abu Ghraib was also a heinous crime. So it is hypocritical for Americans to condemn Khan when it is the U.S. that has lost the confidence and trust of the world. Nizar Ali London...
