...nuclear ambitions. Under Koizumi - who travels this week to the U.S., making stops both in Washington and at Graceland - Japan has taken a more muscular role in world affairs and sent troops to Iraq. The changes have been warmly welcomed in Washington, which has long wanted Japan to shoulder more responsibility for its own defense and become a more substantial counterweight to the regional ambitions of China and North Korea. The U.S. has been alone among the other nations in the on-again, off-again six-party talks over North Korea's nukes to back Japan's demand that...
...Other doctors just looked the other way, their military duty overruling the Hippocratic Oath. One at Abu Ghraib intervened to ask guards to stop beating one prisoner's wounded leg and quit hanging him from an injured shoulder. He saw it happen three times. He never reported it.

As the men behind the nation's two most influential liberal blogs - dailykos.com and atrios.blogspot.com - Markos Moulitsas Zuniga and Duncan Black draw interested stares, small crowds and quiet, admiring gossip from the bloggers, lurkers and activists gathered here at the Riviera. They are the Brangelina of Yearly...
...much power does a Harvard president have? No one would call you a figurehead, but I wonder, what with the Corporation and Overseers looking over your shoulder and quietly or not so quietly steering the University’s agenda, to what extent do you as president have the power to guide and implement initiatives completely of your own choosing? LHS: Certainly whatever the president of Harvard says or does is noticed pretty widely. I think we’ve been able to do some very important things these last years by eliminating family contributions by any family with income...
