...immigration from countries of the Third world,” as Adomanis states, unreflectively parroting one of French politician Jean-Marie Le Pen’s pet arguments. There is no “invasion” of foreigners in France at the moment. French immigration laws are extremely strict. Most of the rioters come from families who have been in France for 30 or 40 years and have full French citizenship. Why are some French citizens called “foreigners” when they are not? This kind of misinformation is part of the problem...
According to the Pentagon, less than half of Iraq's forces are combat ready. But that perception may be based on an unnecessarily strict standard. For instance, the Defense Department doesn't consider an Iraqi unit ready to fight until it can sustain itself with supplies, intelligence and communications--a combination that takes U.S. forces years to develop. A Pentagon official said last week that 87,000 of the 212,000 Iraqis that the Defense Department classifies as "trained and equipped" are actually "in the fight," meaning fully capable of planning and waging active combat. The Iraqis have taken over...
...Japan and Korea are prime examples of highly industrialized nations trying to hold onto an identity that is rooted in an agrarian past.

Much of it is stuffed into government surplus warehouses or passed on to other countries as food aid. Foreign rice that...
Well, no. Owner James E. Murray is not so much a misunderstood genius as a friendly entrepreneur, and has no plans to move to Argentina. Yet Murray does run an efficient operation, posting strict rules meant to keep business flowing during typically packed rush hours at his Harvard Square institution. And, in a world where one can barely look at a Pez dispenser or Junior Mint without memories of Jerry and the gang, he inevitably invites comparisons to the most feared soup artisan of the “Seinfeld” New York...
...consistently made big plays to get the Crimson in the red zone. Tyler had a career day, catching 11 passes for 177 yards, and made the Quakers defense pay for crowding the line against junior running back Clifton Dawson. Entering the season, Tyler was expected to play a strict supporting role as Harvard’s third receiver behind junior Corey Mazza and senior Rodney Byrnes. But after Byrnes went down with an injury in the first game and Mazza did the same in the second, Tyler assumed the No. 1 receiver spot and refused to let a mid-season...
