...Haldeman, in late fall 2007 and made his final decision over the winter vacation, according to The Dartmouth, the college’s student newspaper. The board will discuss the search process at their March meeting, according to a letter to Dartmouth by Haldeman, and hopes to secure a successor by the time Wright leaves at the end of the 2008-2009 academic year. Wright, who previously served as dean of Dartmouth’s faculty and then as provost, said in a letter to the community that “as much as I enjoy serving Dartmouth...
...with two decades gone by, the Runaways were in the process of quietly coming home to Italy - or so the authorities believed. The exiles had good reasons: Gotti was dead and buried in the States; and Riina and Bernardo Provenzano, his successor and lifelong Corleone paesano, are both serving life terms in Italy. They were allegedly about to rebuild their "Old Bridge" between America and Sicily, reestablishing the business and drug trafficking ties between the Sicilian and American mobs.

The streets were quiet and I asked the driver why. He replied in a neutral voice that Sukarno had just passed away. After the chaos and isolationism of the Sukarno years, my student movement had supported Suharto's vision of stability and economic growth. Nevertheless, I felt a sad sense of passage...
There has apparently already been some papal concern about the Jesuit's relatively liberal perspectives. In a letter last week to Kolvenbach, on the eve of the election of his successor and a month-long meeting of a congregation of Jesuit leaders, Benedict implored the order to hold firm in Catholic tradition on matters of morality and sexuality. "It could prove extremely useful that the general congregation reaffirm, in the spirit of St. Ignatius, its own total adhesion to Catholic doctrine, in particular on those neuralgic points which today are strongly attacked by secular culture," the Pope said...
