...lack of good coverage,” Massing said in his speech. “I think that the thinness of that coverage reflects the general lack of familiarity that journalists have with the region.” Attendees took issue with the media’s narrow scope when it comes to covering events in Iraq. “The problem...is that we’re getting a very narrow picture of the whole war,” said David Anable, a fellow at the Shorenstein Center. “I’m looking for a broader...
...examples of recent EU additions Poland and Lithuania demonstrate, policies leading to EU admission can be economically beneficial by integrating less-developed economies into the greater EU community through the implementation of common standards (the Euro unit of currency, for example). Nevertheless, we should be careful with opening the scope of conformity too much and losing the perspective that only cultural identity can provide. The EU is about common grounds, and maybe there are certain fundamentally different things in today’s Turkey. Why should this fact be so hard to digest?Homogenization is not an idyllic goal: multiculturalism...
...limited unless it is accompanied by several other critical improvements.Under the old party grant system, the UC would distribute $100 grants on a first-come, first-served basis to those who applied for them.

...erudition and scope, Illicit has one vexing flaw: its lack of substantial original research. Na?m is an armchair tour guide, relying mostly on well-worn news stories and official reports. For a book on the underground trade in sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll, Illicit is disappointingly dry. The climax is not a memorable glimpse inside a smuggling ring, but a raft of policy suggestions such as better coordination among government agencies and improved international cooperation?hardly page-turning stuff. Still, Na?m succeeds in presenting a clear account of how illicit commerce works and what its consequences are. In doing...
