...There is much at stake. Securing the Caucasus region, which is veined with oil and gas pipelines, has become a priority for both Russia and the U.S. But history is a potent saboteur in this part of the world and talks have collapsed before under its weight. In 1915, the Ottoman Turkish army, fighting against Russia to maintain its territories, sent the region's Armenian population on a "death march" toward Syria. Armenians say 1.5 million were killed in a genocide. Turkey rejects that term, maintaining that the expulsion was a wartime measure necessary to quash Armenian nationalists who sided...
This is the most confounding part of the notion of social sin. Sin, unlike crime or folly, is a spiritual notion: for Muslim or Jew or Christian, sin is the saboteur that keeps us from grace, separates us from God. The new list is about what separates us from one another; it makes abstract the failings that once were intimate and in the process may make sin smaller, not bigger or more relevant. Private faith already speaks to public duty, as Mohandas Gandhi suggested with his version of the seven deadly sins: "Wealth without work, pleasure without conscience, science without...

While Fiasco gets great work elsewhere out of Pharrell and up-and-comer Soundtrakk, this track fell to skilled saboteur West. Which is strange, since West doesn’t need to start selling off his diamond’s from Jacob just yet. “Food & Liquor” is marred by some notable flaws. There’s “The Instrumental,” which...
...ceding center stage does not come naturally to Bill. He can be simultaneously Hillary's best asset and a subtle saboteur. When they appeared together at a $1,000-a-ticket fund raiser for Hillary last summer on Nantucket in Massachusetts, his introductory remarks were longer than her speech, recalls a prominent Democrat who was there. As the guest of honor's turn to speak finally came, much of the crowd migrated to the other side of the pool to gather where her husband continued to talk...
