...Harvard? One of your characters, Keith, speaks of his “series of disappointments at that bitter place.”KG: I do still think that Harvard is not a very warm place. That chapter is about experiencing Harvard as a station where you might begin to suspect what your place in the world is. And it might not be what you thought it was. You might have thought that once you got to Harvard everything was set at zero, and it turns out that’s not the case. I think Harvard was disappointing...
...suspect that he will. It's McCain's way. He sees the tawdry ceremonies of politics - the spin and hucksterism - as unworthy. He's not one to put on silly hats; his physical disabilities limit his capacity to engage in bowling photo ops. His shtick is substance, the endless access granted to reporters on his bus.

"The occupier wants to cause sedition," said Sheikh Abdel Hadi al-Mohammedawi, an official at the Sadr office in the southern city of Karbala, speaking on behalf of Sadr. But Mohammedawi, also said that Sadr is urging his followers to stay calm...
...What could possibly be the rationale for this? Perhaps it is that Sadr's Mahdi Army is the most potent force opposed to long-term U.S. bases in Iraq-and that a permanent presence has been the Bush Administration's true goal in this war. I suspect the central question in Iraq now is not whether things will get better but whether the drive for a long-term, neocolonialist presence will make the situation irretrievably worse...
