...week. It’s not easy for them to confront social norms that would limit them to the role of a subordinate worker in a society run by men. Yet they persist, promoting change person by person. Society could do with more of such defiance of the status quo, in both east and west.Juliet S. Samuel ’09, a Crimson editorial editor, is a social studies concentrator in Eliot House. She missed Pimm’s the most during her stay in Vietnam, but she now misses pho bò even more...
...European envoys, there was further evidence that the diplomatic united front against Hizballah that the U.S. was hoping to achieve has not materialized. A growing international clamor for an immediate cease-fire - and U.S. resistance to that call, on the grounds that it would simply restore the previous status quo - is leaving Washington more isolated than it would prefer to be. The final statement of the Rome meeting tried to paper over the differences with a pledge to "work immediately to reach with the utmost urgency a cease-fire." But it also included wording pushed by the U.S. that such...
...Hizballah - Israel will be reluctant to agree until it is assured of peace on its northern border.

...high-level international meeting in Rome this week. But it also means ensuring that Hizballah can no longer use its strongholds in the south to threaten regional peace. That explains why Rice has been at pains to insist that her mission is not to restore the status quo ante but to change the game in Lebanon so that Hizballah is out of the picture. Rice and other top U.S. officials do not expect that Hizballah will be completely disarmed by Israel anytime soon; but they would not be sorry to see its power sufficiently undermined so that other nations...
