...defense team. In 2005 Chaudhry was promoted to Chief Justice. But then he started investigating extrajudicial detentions and querying a spate of disappearances of activists. Earlier this year, he held the privatization of Pakistan Steel Mills-a pet project of the Prime Minister-to be unconstitutional. Many in Pakistan suggest that Musharraf's principal motive in dismissing Chaudhry may have stemmed from fears that the increasingly independent Chief Justice would obstruct the President's bid for another term, which requires a constitutional amendment ratified by the Supreme Court and approved by Parliament. Chaudhry in private conversations had expressed doubt that...
...these moves suggest--but hardly guarantee --a course correction on Iraq by September, when the patience of even GOP lawmakers will probably run out. Talk of a partial U.S. drawdown or a new acceleration of Iraqi-troop training increases with each day. A senior Administration official who participates in foreign policy meetings chose his words carefully last week: "It will be easier to execute a change in direction if the people who have to decide on it do not feel bound by things they have said and done in the past...
Some observers suggest Floridians shouldn't gripe too much, since they don't pay a state income tax.

And that kind of landslide would give Sarkozy a free hand to slim down welfare programs, liberalize France's labor market, and shrink public debt, without significant...
Take, for example, the modest proposal of the reformers of the Task Force on General Education, who dared to suggest that in a 21st century world, where religion is a big deal in nearly every significant geopolitical situation, Harvard undergraduates should be required to have some knowledge of religion. Under the category of “Faith and Reason,” the reformers proposed to take advantage of the considerable academic resources available in the Divinity School and the concentration on the study of religion. There was considerable student interest, and not a few faculty members began to speculate...
