...uneasy alignment of Abhisit and Newin reflects a fundamental rift in Thai society between disaffected rural voters and a disgusted urban elite that cannot fathom the string of populist - and sometimes iron-fisted - leaders whom the masses have been choosing to represent them. Bangkok may gleam with malls and high-rises, but most of Thailand is still a poor country of rice farmers.

The endowment, in other words, serves noble causes, and thus deserves protection from the government’s greedy redistributive hands...
...just shot worse in the second half.”The three main contributors to Harvard’s 58-point performance were Finelli, Rollins, and sophomore forward Emma Markley, who also chipped in a double-double. Markley led the team in scoring with 17 points, giving her a string of six games in which she has scored in double figures, and she also added 10 rebounds to her total.The issue for the afternoon was less the field goal percentage and more the Friars’ ability to penetrate the defense and score in the paint after getting the offensive...
