...right-wing opinions he expressed as a legislator. More interesting is why he's choosing to do so now. One theory is that becau se his approval ratings have been falling for months ahead of vital elections to be held in the spring, he may feel the need to shore up his conservative support base. But in pandering to the right, he could throw away something far more important - Japan's improving relations with China and South Korea, its vital neighbors and trade partners. With the 70th anniversary of the Nanking massacre (when invading Japanese troops targeted the Chinese city...

Indonesians who return from study overseas-and those who don't leave home-are just a mouse click away from Salafi scholars anywhere else. "The Internet has helped...
...system whose dynamics remain so murky. And for TFs, whose professional futures often hinge on teaching evaluations, the guidelines governing complaints and their consequences must be clarified, especially if the system is to be constructive, and not destructive. To that end, the UC should work to shore up the administration’s worries, make the system as transparent as possible, and work hard to win over its critics. It is our hope that students will make use of the revamped hotline, and that eventually it will become an official, College and Bok Center-sanctioned feedback mechanism. We are optimistic...
