...dressing on the open wounds of Indonesian politics, and discarding him may plunge the country into an even deeper round of turmoil than the one that dispatched Suharto in 1998. The forces that had sided with Wahid to keep out Megawati are unlikely to be willing to see her succeed the ailing president, and yet her supporters have always believed that by accepting the veep job she was simply biding her time to assume the reins. The military may have its own agendas, particularly in light of the mounting separatist violence in the outlying islands of Aceh and Irian Jaya...
Improving advising, increasing student-faculty interaction and adding more courses all require the addition of faculty. Unfortunately, the size of the faculty has remained largely unchanged over the past decade, despite the creation of more faculty posts. Harvard must redouble its efforts to recruit faculty. To succeed, Harvard may have to reconsider its tenure process and the lack of a tenure-track for junior faculty. As new faculty members are recruited and tenured, the council must emphasize the importance of developing a faculty with the diversity of knowledge and background to fully engage Harvard's increasingly diverse student body...
Indeed, it's happened before, and like predecessor Corazon Aquino, Arroyo will need all of her assets - plus some - to succeed in one of Asia's most difficult jobs.

Older people are less likely than younger adults to seek or respond to offers of help. They make few suicidal gestures, but a greater number succeed in carrying out their suicides. Despite what many people believe, young people between the ages of 15 and 24 have the lowest suicide rate in the nation (13.3 per 100,000), while white men in their 80s have the highest...
...death was officially announced two days later after a farcical series of "yes, he's dead," "no, he's alive" declarations and denials--drawn out, most likely, as various government factions fought over who should succeed him. American officials say they think the shooting was the result of an internal power struggle, a by-product of the country's bloody civil war. Some African analysts finger the Angolans, who were frustrated with Kabila's leadership. There was a glimmer of hope in the news: Western diplomats think Kabila's death may encourage the warring factions to seek peace...
