...terrorists who targeted Glasgow and London lacked the technical and planning skills to succeed, any hopes that their attacks were the work of crazed individuals have evaporated. Instead, a picture is emerging of a well-coordinated operation stretching from Scotland to southern England - with the hallmarks of a plot inspired by al-Qaeda. It has also revealed the manpower limitations of the country's electronic surveillance system. David Capitanbchik, a terrorism expert at Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen, also suggests the attack in Glasgow may be in response to last week's elevation to the post of Prime Minister...

Avoiding a takeover of the Palestinian cause by even more radical elements will instead require a more pragmatic and clear-eyed strategy than the Bush Administration has so far pursued.

The U.S.'s efforts to help weak states will largely depend on how well we cooperate with strong ones...
...science curriculum being rolled out by Senior Lecturer on Molecular and Cellular Biology Robert A. Lue and his colleagues is designed to engage the broadest number of students in the sciences and to give students high quality sections and lots of faculty support, helping them not only to succeed, but to like science. The strategy of making tough courses more student-friendly is clearly working: One third of this year’s freshmen took introductory chemistry or biology...
