...directors of the Humanities center at Harvard. An Emeritus professor of political philosophy at McGill University in Canada and a visiting professor of government at Harvard, Taylor spoke about theories of spirituality propounded in his most recent publication, A Secular Age. The book, printed in 2007 by Harvard University Press, centered around his ideas relating to the place of spiritual traditions in the modern world. Sandel, a professor of government at Harvard University, developed these ideas with abstract examples. He said that he thought that the book had raised awareness of the need to incorporate spiritual concepts into public discourse...
...Washington, at least, the vague outlines of an Obama-sponsored peace plan are starting to take shape. The Israeli press say that U.S. envoy Mitchell will propose a new formula to Netanyahu: an Israeli withdrawal to the 1967 borders, excepting the large Jewish settlements around Jerusalem; having Jerusalem as the capital of both Israel and a future Palestine; the adoption of a special status for the Old City, holy to Christians, Jews and Muslims; the return of refugees to a Palestinian state, with Israel accepting some responsibility for their plight; and the presence of a multinational force in the Palestinian...

More startling, Obama said the U.S. was coming to the G-20 "as a peer" of the other nations. Dismissing speculation over rifts as exaggerated, the President...
...Foreign and Commonwealth Office that was designed at the height of Britain's colonial powers, plans were afoot to challenge a stage-managed G-20 consensus. Demonstrators took to the streets, and French President Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel sent out invitations to their own joint London press conference, to signal their determination to resist any Anglo-American pressure for additional fiscal stimulus and to highlight their demands for stricter financial regulation. They are not the only G-20 leaders to arrive in London with agendas that reflect divergent approaches to the economic crisis - and differing domestic pressures...
