...difficult as it may seem to do this. There are ways to break out the age homogeneity of our circles, and we should make use of them. Tutors, House Masters, teaching fellows, professors, HUDS staff, the little kids running around the dining halls there are many people within our community at stages of life very different from undergraduates.

The wily President knows that the presence of foreign forces in his country is deeply unpopular, particularly when civilians are killed in the course of NATO military operations. Karzai, moreover, is humiliated and shown to be powerless when his protestations over such operations...
