...time for Condoleezza Rice to go? Since assuming the post of Secretary of State, she has had very few successes. It would appear that diplomacy is not her strong suit. The fault might lie in the arrogant and uncompromising attitude of her bosses, but her performance has been dismal and disappointing. Much of her time and energy has been diverted to defending the strategies and policies of the Bush Administration. One wonders whether a more independent-thinking Secretary of State would better serve the country...

"It's a microcosm of what's wrong in China in general," that even with the strong likelihood that the U.S. would soon lodge a suit with the World Trade Organization claiming copyright infringement and counterfeiting, Beijing does nothing...

Right now their ranks are small enough that others do not feel compelled to follow suit, but as the number of PDAs on campus grows, that could change. In a worst-case scenario, PDAs, which can increase cell phone bills by up to $50 per month, will become ubiquitous symbols of privilege on campus. In other words, the PDA is on the cusp of becoming must-have, ivory tower “bling,” a nauseating prospect...
