...three suspects do not fit the stereotypical mold of “suicide bombers”—none are Arabs, and two are German citizens (though all are Muslims)—and thus wouldn’t have been snared by a simplistic campaign of racial profiling. Complicating things further, the preliminary stages of the plot were conducted in the neighboring towns of Ulm and Neu-Ulm, which, despite being on opposite banks of the Rhine river, are in different states and are policed by separate departments. But unlike in America, where, before 9/11, FBI agents...
Under pressure from a group of female professors concerned about gender and racial prejudice, the University of California has rescinded a speaking invitation to former Harvard president Lawrence H. Summers. The decision drew criticism from allies of Summers as well as some of his onetime opponents in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. Summers had been invited to speak at a dinner hosted on Wednesday by the University of California board of regents, prompting a group of female University of California at Davis professors to draft an online petition, eventually signed by more than 350 people, protesting the choice...
...anti-Semitic to ask why the Palestinians should pay the price for the ghastly crime of the Germans? Why were the property rights of the German perpetrators sacrosanct and those of the guiltless Palestinians adjudged an acceptable casualty?

...racial makeup of the current Springbok squad sparked weeks of anguish among politicians back home, concerned about the image it projects to the world, but divided over how to address the problem. Despite the government's upbeat post-apartheid "rainbow nation" theme, official statistics underscore the persistence of harsh inequalities: last year more than 60% of black South Africans scraped by on less than $100 a month, up from 50% in 1996. By contrast, only 4% of whites earn that little. "At the very top there is a lot of integration," says Frans Cronjé, head of development...
This year's World Cup may be the last time the Springboks field so many whites. South African politicians have warned that future teams will have to integrate more, even at the expense of winning. Ultimately, says Yeye, quotas might be the only way to alter the Springboks' racial mix. Yet he concedes that even black players don't like that idea, since they fear they will be seen as token...
