More than 170 diners feasted on coconut flan at the “Juban Celebration” jointly sponsored by Harvard Hillel and the Cuban-American Undergraduate Student Association (CAUSA) last evening. The “Kosher Taste of Cuba” dinner, which also included Cuban-style brown rice, mojo chicken, and Havana black bean soup, led into a multimedia book discussion with author and University of Michigan professor Ruth Behar. The meal drew a “really excellent” turnout, according to Associate Director of Harvard Hillel Michael A. Simon. Elena C. Casta?...
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice may have become accustomed to taking flak from Democratic (and even some G.O.P.) legislators when she testifies on Capitol Hill, but some of the most ferocious criticism she has recently faced comes from an unlikely source: John Bolton, the fiery conservative who served under Rice as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. In his new memoir, Surrender Is Not an Option: Defending America at the United Nations and Abroad, Bolton - known to be close to Vice President Dick Cheney - outlines some of the internal foreign policy battles in the Administration of George W.

...stable. Many in Washington worry that the general is getting progressively heavy-handed and dictatorial. "Musharraf is digging in," says Stephen Cohen, a South Asia expert and senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. "He is either suicidal or totally ignorant of the situation." Bush and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice have both telephoned Musharraf and urged him to ease up. Rice is sending her deputy, John D. Negroponte, to Islamabad to try to hold the general to his promise to step down as army chief at the end of November, lift the emergency degree and hold elections in early January...
