...rule of law, human rights, and free and fair elections. The Organisation of African Unity, little more than a club for dictators, was reconstituted as the African Union, with aspirations to rule Africa better and a mandate to intervene in countries suffering coups or genocidal civil wars. A Peer Review Mechanism established a committee of the great and good to probe how countries are doing in terms of political and economic management; 26 nations have signed up to be reviewed...
Monday, I tried to tell a high school junior on a college tour what life is like at Harvard.

Sundquist ’09 would be a part of the new committee to review the Administrative Board, the College’s draconian disciplinary body. A day before, University Hall announced a new “Dowling Committee,” the famous group that formed the Undergraduate Council and reformed student-faculty committees 25 years ago, to recommend changes regarding student governance. A week before that, Ted A. Mayer, the executive director of Harvard University Dining Services (HUDS), held a public forum and opened a blog...
