...course there are occasions when such limitations are needed to protect other rights: as Pellegrino University Professor Robert Nozick observes in Anarchy, State and Utopia, my property rights in my knife allow me to leave it where I will, but not in your chest. The wealthy, however, don’t infringe on rights just by being wealthy. It’s difficult to show that those with money are responsible for the poverty of those without it; and it’s perhaps equally difficult to prove that poverty is due more to social conditions beyond one?...
...their ire is perfectly understandable - if totally misdirected. The regulation, formally issued January 14th, demands the voluntary departure of cadets who get married, become pregnant, or cause someone else to become pregnant. Unfair, charges the National Women's Law Center; the new rules violate anti-discrimination laws established to protect pregnant women. The NWLC is right; the VMI rules are discriminatory - but not for the reasons the NWLC argues...
...seen in 30 years. Colossus India ranged tanks and troops in strike formations along the border, deployed warships in the Arabian Sea and moved medium-range missiles--capable of carrying nuclear warheads--closer to Pakistan.

It was his arrest--and that of Hafiz Muhammad Saeed, leader of the other...
...policies that, under the tutelage of the U.S. and the International Monetary Fund, Argentina has adopted in the past decade. Last week Duhalde committed his government to "the unrestricted defense of national interests." Said the President: "No one wants a return to the old protectionism, but we need to protect our own." Right now Argentina looks like a great, unenviable mess, but if Duhalde really does adopt populist, nationalist policies, he may have imitators--especially in Brazil, which holds a presidential election later this year and where the liberal economic policies of outgoing President Henrique Cardoso have many opponents...
