First, the Republicans tried to attack Democrats on national security, their old, reliable soft-on-terrorism gambit. But that didn't work, in part because George W. Bush's own National Intelligence Council issued a report that said the Administration's policies were probably adding to the sum total of terrorists in the world. Then the Republicans tried to accuse Democrats of being soft on illegal immigrants. But that didn't work because the President himself was notoriously humane on immigration-and it was the Republican Congress that had failed to produce a tough immigration bill...

Flores, unless someone fails to report purchases that he or she didn’t make. In sum, Harvard may not be safe for its students’ long distance relationships, but it certainly is for their identities...
...Undergraduate Council (UC), which cut its costs this past spring by abolishing one of its three committees, doled out a record-setting sum to student groups and upped funding by $1,000 for each of the residential Houses at a three-hour session last night.

And 1 in 5 policyholders over 65 is in line for a life settlement greater than the surrender value of the policy, according to Conning & Co., an insurance-research firm...
...Those few words sum up the dilemma hobbling China's policy towards its wayward, unpredictable neighbor. In the mid-1990s, a severe famine that killed tens or even hundreds of thousands of North Koreans sent refugees flooding across the porous border. And while increased trade and relatively good harvests in the last couple of years have stabilized the situation, a large portion of the country remains dependent on outside food aid. And international monitors fear that another major famine may be in the offing...
