...sanctions and negotiation. Although the military option was available but unappealing a dozen years ago, it is barely so today. Limited targets, little reserve force to deal with retaliation and an ally in Seoul hostile to military action argue against that option. Sanctions, always limited by what China would permit, will not force North Korean compliance and amount to a policy of containment or acceptance of a growing North Korean nuclear-weapons program. That poses unacceptable risks to our nation's security...

They are always giving us, as writer-director Barry Levinson does in Man of the Year, tastes and tidbits of Williams in full cry, the while looking for calming cutaways, subplots and diversions that will permit us respite from his mania.

A more practical policy for the future would perhaps permit House Committees and student groups to bring kegs but ban hard liquor. But alas, our cries of reason will probably have little effect. The College has few friends on the other side of the river and can’t afford to alienate Boston authorities when the Allston expansion...
