...middle east is inherently unstable. An American pullout from Iraq would increase its instability. But so would a continued American presence there. And sending yet more troops to Iraq-if there were more troops to send-would only make things worse. We are seeing in retrospect that Saddam Hussein's brutal regime, crippled and contained in the aftermath of the first Gulf War, was the best of many bad scenarios. As for the future, we can pull out U.S. troops and watch things disintegrate, or we can stay in Iraq and watch things disintegrate. The only benefit to the first...

No wonder prosecutor D.J. Hansen, who put the men behind bars, says there is nothing new in the petition that wasn't tested in the normal judicial process. "Justice was done...
...soon as I got back to my room, I knew it wasn’t going to work,” she says of her return to the House system this September. “In retrospect I realized it was a terrible idea to go back into dorms—I wish I’d thought more.” Reconnecting with blockmates and returning to the college environment was stressful. “I’m a vegan, so the dining hall is terrible—there are only so many bean burritos...
