Sparked by a series of cartoons in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten, the heated discussion of free speech and religious sensitivity reached the Harvard campus last week, as the Harvard Salient chose to reprint the now-infamous depictions of the prophet Muhammad. It is disappointing to see the violence that the publication of these cartoons has caused around the globe, and we are glad to see that the debate at Harvard has assumed a more civil (although still passionate) tenor.

He plans to build 3,000 FedEx Kinko's stores over the next five years, including 1,000 overseas. Many of the new locations will be just 2,000 sq. ft., a third as big as most current outlets. That will cut costs, and the result, May hopes, will boost morale and profit margins, which...
