...policy recommended by the Committee, however, has overreacted to these extreme and rare cases by proposing to pin the blame for any party thrown on behalf of a student group or on student group property on officers. In many cases, student organizations throw parties or hold casual gatherings at which officers are not present or in charge. To punish officers in these cases makes no sense—it seems like the College is turning to group officers simply because it needs someone to punish. Instead of picking convenient targets, the College should beef up hazing rules, as these more...

"These are simply the best machines out there," she says. The devices have come a long way since 1901. As we talked, the Pfaff Creative 2170, completely unattended, embroidered intricate monograms onto napkins as if by magic...

But now, four years after the liberation of the rest of the country, Kurdish Iraq is undergoing an identity crisis. On the one hand, it is a rare success story in the Middle East: a stable territory run by a secular leadership committed to economic and political reform and sitting on a huge pool of oil.
