...supreme court found the gumption to strike down this pseudo-legal impunity. The reasons for their caution are plain to see: Many Chileans feared that the generals who'd voluntarily allowed the restoration of democracy in 1990 were simply watching and waiting, and if presented with a distasteful political scenario they might once again demand the keys to the national palace and slaughter their political opponents. In other words, Chileans were not scared of Augusto Pinochet Ugarte himself; they feared his uniform and the power it signified, even after he'd given up wearing...
...result, it is much tougher to find people from whom money can be raised for more liberal-arts type concentrations. Without the huge financial resources of business-oriented or technical departments, these concentrations are at risk of being shortchanged with antiquated equipment and fewer faculty. This unfair scenario is replayed on a larger scale with the University's graduate schools; the Business School, because of its donor base, has far more resources than the School of Education...

But in the Middle East these days, optimism may be in short supply...
...candidates for election, leaving only Gbagbo, Guei and three minor candidates in the race. This action caused an outcry for free and fair elections from the international community that went unheeded. On October 22, the presidential elections took place boycotted by both major parties; an equivalent scenario in American politics would have been if Texas Gov. George W. Bush and Vice President Al Gore '69 had been prohibited from running and Ralph Nader had beaten Pat Buchanan in the popular vote...
