...First and foremost, Obama must make good on his promise of rebuilding strategic alliances, starting with the European Union (EU). Since the day when Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld infamously divided the continent in terms of “old” and “new?? Europe, relations with France and Germany have been strained. With power swings in Italy and Spain, as well as opposition in Britain, other allies have also become more reluctant to blindly follow the U.S.’s lead.

...brewing in Harvard Square. Starbucks rolled out a new, high-end coffee machine to six Seattle and Boston stores, including one of Harvard Square’s Garage locations. The machine, called the “Clover,” retails for $11,000. Expensive espresso machines are nothing new??an espresso machine from Williams Sonoma can run close to $4,000. But the Clover only makes coffee—one, slow, meticulous, pressed cup at a time, which barista Teena L. Eggleston called “couture coffee.” The machine is produced...
