...born elsewhere. These international students seem to be proud of their transgression. They celebrate it, though the Woodbridge Society, and student cultural organizations, and the Spee Club, and I don’t like it one bit. Harvard is incredibly generous to offer admission to people with such an odious and misplaced pride in their place of birth (though I suppose once they started taking people from New Jersey, they had to stay consistent). So here is my call, not for womanish leniency, but for more manful restrictions on the issuance of visas. As much as I support the concept...
...darker side solely for her unfolding professional life. Yee, conversely, a man known for his animalistic brutality, bares a worn, solitary countenance behind closed doors. These two dichotomous characters unwittingly create a relationship that assumes a dual nature in itself: restrained and unbridled, violent and erotic, lustful and odious. These dualities grow inextricably intertwined through intimacy, portrayed in a series of graphic sex scenes. Though these scenes are clearly responsible for the film’s NC-17 rating, the bedtime power plays expose the relationship’s ability to consume and transform the pair. Unfortunately, the evolution...
...deal, brokered by China, the price for North Korea's denuclearization is the U.S. taking regime change off the table and offering security guarantees and the phased normalization of economic and political relations with a regime currently on the U.S. list of nations sponsoring terrorism.

A compromise, then, but as many diplomatic observers had long warned, the only deal possible to avoid confrontation...
...certainly do not have them now." When we asked Graham about the conversation, his shame was obvious, and he confessed to the other fault at work that day - his sycophancy, the courtier's habit of trying to win favor with the king by embracing even his most odious ideas. "I think I was just trying to agree with what he said or something," Graham told us. Hitchens may reject Graham's many apologies if he chooses, and discount his remorse more evidence of fraud. But rational people should have a hard time accepting Hitchens' characterization of Graham as "a disgustingly...
...Bloviating Bloggers I found Joe Klein's "beware the bloggers' Bile" interesting [June 18]. But he lost me when I read, "the left-liberals in the blogosphere are merely aping the odious, disdainful - and politically successful - tone that right-wing radio talk-show hosts like Rush Limbaugh pioneered." Has Klein ever really listened to Rush? He is far from rude and insulting to callers with a divergent view. He may be a blowhard, but that is not the same thing by any stretch of the imagination. If Klein had used Michael Savage or Mark Levin as his example, I would...
