...counterterrorism and international development that have meshed naturally with Obama's belief that the Iraq invasion was an inadequate cold war--style response to 21st century problems like poverty, insecure borders and weapons proliferation. To get Obama ready for a presidential run, Lake has assembled a 200-person shadow National Security Council for the candidate, whose childhood in the Third World and paternal ties to Africa have not made up for foreign policy inexperience...
...whole. The interpretation of some characters differs from what would have been presented at the play’s inception. Prospero and Ariel are imagined as a Victorian magician and his assistant. One suspects that Ariel’s costume, which includes leather boots, fishnet stockings, turquoise eye shadow, and a top hat, was not the go-to outfit of most 17th-century fairies.

...surprising that University Hall acts like an absolute monarch, supposedly “saving” us students from our warring nature. Nor is it surprising that Harvard Law School Professor Harvey A.

...Shadow of the Past It is not as if European nations have no troops in Afghanistan. The U.K. has 7,800 there, Germany will soon have 3,500. All of the remaining alliance members have dispatched at least some troops or resources to aid in the effort.

Within NATO, only the U.S., U.K., Canada, the Netherlands and Denmark now have significant numbers of troops in the region. Because of caveats, Germans are not allowed...
...Obama's loss in Ohio, 45% to Clinton's 55%, as a bad omen for his chances in Pennsylvania. Both states have large white, blue-collar populations, and Ohio, at least, was an open primary. Clinton's economic-themed campaign resonates in the Rust Belt, especially under the shadow of a possible recession (though the big cities in Pennsylvania have transformed their economies from their industrial past more effectively than Ohio's). More than half - 57% - of Democratic Pennsylvania voters are over the age of 45, a strong demographic for Clinton...
