...seen German lawyers, buoyed by anti-American sentiment, file suit against recently resigned Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld for committing war crimes under international law. But from where do such sentiments arise?One reason frequently bandied about is that, in autocratic states like Saudi Arabia, students are taught to resent the United States during their formative years of schooling. And there certainly seems to be truth to this. But what about resentments emerging from Western, democratic regimes? I have long been skeptical that a virulent anti-Americanism could be bred in the classrooms of Western democracies. After all, central tenets...
Hunt is frank about the role wealth played in her career. “To be indelicate, money bought a seat at the table,” she writes. While it is hard not to sympathize with the career diplomats who resent her appointment, I admire Hunt’s candor...

Sgt Cardona's return "will give the insurgents another pretext...
...left-wing profs in the 60s invented this concentration, which was then banished to the Quad so as to distance its leftist undertones from the school. (If you’re going to be in a River house, major in Gov. Just do it. You’ll resent the trek to the Quad just to get your study cards signed.) Now that radicalism (at least in America) has fallen out of fashion, it seems that Social Studies has been searching for its soul ever since. A committee review this year found that Social Studies needs a major overhaul?...
