...Nevertheless, the humanitarian situation in Kenyan slums and the countryside cannot be ignored. The prices of basic food staples have skyrocketed, and the economy has ground to a halt so much of the scarred population has no way to pay for basic necessities. According to a United Nations estimate, more than 500,000 Kenyans will need emergency aid. In the critical humanitarian relief effort, the United States should do its part along with other nations, but it should do no more...
...Cambridge officer.It is well understood that police departments are required, upon request, to surrender records related to the exercise of their police powers, such as arrest and incident reports. Public scrutiny of such records is an indispensable tool for monitoring, and thereby preventing, any potential abuse of police powers. Nevertheless, campus police departments across the country—including HUPD—have argued that they, as subsidiaries of private entities, should not be bound by the same freedom of information standards that govern so-called “public” police departments.

Therefore, the best way to set up a fair primary would be to rotate the order that states vote in from cycle to cycle, ensuring...
...technology and legal protections have enabled students with disabilities to attend college in greater numbers. In 1990, 40 students registered with Harvard as disabled; today that number is over 300.It is laudable that Harvard is willing to invest the time and resources necessary to educate talented students with disabilities. Nevertheless, accommodating a disabled student presents inherently unique circumstances that both the student and the College must understand. The key to a successful undergraduate experience is for both parties to agree to a plan before a student arrives on campus. Since no two disabilities are alike, accommodations must be individualized.
