...faculty members, submitted a letter urging Congress to reject the “compromise” bill. “Taken together, the bill’s provisions rewrite American law to evade the fundamental principles of separation of powers, due process, habeas corpus, fair trials, and the rule of law, principles that, together, prohibit state-sanctioned violence,” the letter, posted on the HLS website, read...
...progress slowed to a standstill. Proponents of open publication who point to advances such as Grigori Perelman’s recent proof of the Poincaré conjecture, which was posted online instead of submitted to a journal, fail to realize that such instances are the exception rather than the rule. True, the traditional peer review process is not perfect. It delays the flow of information, can sometimes be biased, and often unduly prioritizes the work of established, famous scientists over the work of lesser-known researchers. But it is far better than the alternative...

...that democracy is dead, but that many Asian democracies are immature and fragile, with political systems incapable of guaranteeing smooth and legitimate transfers of power. Even if General Sonthi keeps his promise and returns power to civilian hands, the damage is done. Neither the dictatorial style of Thaksin's rule, nor the manner of his departure, are worth celebration. Sukma believes the Thai coup will embolden "antidemocratic forces" across the region. "They are all laughing at democracy now," he warns. Democracy might yet have the last laugh, but in much of Asia that day remains a long...
