...fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations. Noting that Iran's economy is struggling - oil is now below $68 a barrel and the recent turmoil will further deter foreign investment - Korski says the government has a long-term interest in repairing its relationship with the E.U. "Iran may rant and rage, but that doesn't mean the E.U. is being kicked around," he says. "As long as the Iranian economy is as decrepit as it is, Iran will need to engage...
Tempted to ask for that extra in-flight pillow? Or rant about a flight delay? Tread carefully: your airline's staff may just be working for free. British Airways recently asked its 40,000 employees to consider laboring for nothing for up to one month.

And the films' plots? At a typical Hollywood pitch meeting, the story of a rat let loose in a French restaurant (Ratatouille, 2007) or a lonely robot trash collector (last...
...mentality in action. DEAL WITH IT.These college dayz have been a wild ride. I want to thank my parents, my sister, my friends (you know who you is!), “The Wire”, Peet’s Coffee, my teachers, and Jamison and Asli for letting me rant one last time in their otherwise highly professional and awesome publication. Stay frosty, Harvard, and remember, it’s all in the game, baby. PEACE, I’M OUT! H. Max Huber ’09 is an English concentrator in Mather House. He prefers to be called...
