...other hand, Leo is like a latter-day Bismarck, possessing the diplomacy and guile needed for dealing with the stubborn Prussian aristocracy (administration) and catering to the landless workers (students) through progressive social reforms (heavy drinking). Leo will use his superior judgment to supplement Frances’s fiery emotional rule, achieving a perfect equilibrium of well-reasoned policy and absolute totalitarianism. Together, I believe that these two candidates comprise the ultimate ticket, a golden ticket, if you will, to University President Drew G. Faust’s kooky factory of poor student relations known as the Harvard College Administration...
...Defense experts disagree on the seriousness of the Pentagon's funding crunch. Of course, if war - as the great Prussian military theorist Carl von Clausewitz put it - is simply the continuation of politics by other means, it should be no surprise that funding a war as controversial as Iraq will be a highly contentious business. And while the Pentagon can surely move money between its various funding streams to keep the war going for a while, it's also obvious that the Bush administration is counting on a political backlash to force the Democrats to back down, as they...

The Europe our great-grandparents knew—the era of Prussian junkers and Manchester’s dark satanic mills—is likewise gone. The real question is: Are the projected demographic changes bad? Here our prophets fall silent, largely assuming that any change is for the worse, or that the harms of a darker-skinned and more Islamic Europe...
...revived as a nationalist symbol in the late 19th Century. Having been called by God to expel the invading English from France during the Hundred Years War, as the story goes, the teenage saint was later appropriated as a symbol of the disputed province of Lorraine during the Franco-Prussian war of 1870-1. The discovery of the false relics would also have added weight to the public campaign to canonize St. Joan, launched in 1869 by the Bishop of Orl?ans. As for the unlikely materials used by the hoaxers, Egypt became a travel destination for wealthy French following Napoleon...
