...apartheid's rulers, not just fight them. And it led him to steer the ANC away from its Marxist faith and toward the free market. But that same contrarian instinct is also behind the positions for which he has been most harshly criticized: his refusal to condemn Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe, and his skepticism, in the face of overwhelming scientific evidence, that hiv is the principal cause of aids. Granted, his behind-the-scenes diplomacy has shown some success in forging a compromise between Mugabe and the opposition. Mbeki also has a point that some foreign activists assume a patrician...

I've eaten raw Arctic musk ox with my bare hands at Copenhagen's cutting-edge Nordic restaurant Noma, and I even took my husband to a strip club after I was tipped off that the best meat in Manhattan was to be had at Robert's Steakhouse in the Penthouse Gentlemen's Club.

But by the year of their graduation, their inability to effect real social and political change had somewhat exhausted those who entered in 1963 so full of hope. The Vietnam War dragged on, with the worst yet to come...
...major progress” in carbon emissions in the U.S. over the next two years. The event, which attracted approximately 100 faculty members, graduate students, and undergraduates, was organized by the Harvard Environmental Economics Program (HEEP). Kolstad is the second visiting scholar in this seminar series. Director of HEEP Robert N. Stavins, an economist at the Kennedy School of Government, whose own research in environmental economics deals with global climate change policies, said he was very pleased with the turnout. “Charlie did a great job presenting, and more importantly, there were really good questions from the audience...
