...Henry Luce, this great public figure-to Hadden. In fact, he never would have been the Henry Luce that we know without Hadden. So I think Luce, as a great man, could not within himself recognize that. Furthermore, if he were to recognize it publicly, it would undercut his status as a media genius. And his status as a media genius was what allowed him to travel the world, delivering speeches for capitalism and democracy, and supporting Chiang Kai-shek. All of that was predicated on the fact that he had created TIME. That's why people respected...

...program called Optional Practical Training (OPT). But students staying in the U.S. under that program can only seek jobs connected to their field of study.That’s not the only drawback of OPT. While students with a year-long extension could conceivably re-apply for H-1B status, they’d still have to stop working for several months. H-1B visas take effect at the beginning of the federal fiscal year, Oct. 1, so Class of ’06 students who gained OPT status immediately after graduation would be left without a visa from June...

...after all, funds useful things like stem cell research and financial aid. Selling our soul, prima facie, can be worth it—as long as we get the right price. The best way to do so is to have an auction. Unpalatable, perhaps, but certainly preferable to the status quo. Harvard already more or less sells admission to a select few, but the process is clothed in a variety of face-saving guises, all of them needlessly inefficient. Legacy preference, for example, gives the children of alumni what the admissions office website calls “a further look...

...such alarming sentiments, it is unsurprising that all internal efforts have failed to bring peace. A 2004 ceasefire was soon violated, and a more recent peace agreement signed in Nigeria this past May received the support of just one of Darfur’s three major rebel groups. The status quo is unacceptable: 7,000 demoralized and often unpaid African Union troops are patrolling a region roughly the size of France. Without planes they are completely unable to enforce the no-fly zone mandated by UN Resolution 1591, even as the Sudanese Air Force carpet bombs villages suspected of housing...
