Harvard University is involved in a sordid love affair. For hundreds of years, one obsession has remained at the beating center of the University’s soul. We have thrown money into duplicating it, waltzed with it all throughout Cambridge, and wailed endlessly when the relationship has come under fire. Luckily, it appears that Harvard is at last ready to make the final split with its old flame: red brick...
...Communists vs. Christians "The War for China's Soul" [aug. 28], on the growth of Christianity in China, implied that Chinese Communist Party control over religion might be relaxing.

What will the consultants think of this? How will...

"To say that Lindsey Graham has been a disappointment to the conservatives who were the heart and soul of his campaign would be an understatement," Republican political consultant Jeffrey Sewell wrote last week in the State, one of South Carolina's largest newspapers. "Unfortunately, our senior Senator has moved from disappointing to downright dangerous." Some Republicans are encouraging wealthy shopping-center developer Thomas Ravenel to take Graham on in the 2008 G.O.P. primary and have circulated an online petition to draft him. Ravenel--who has called...
