...reform by opting out of the termbill fee (“Putting the U in UC,” editorial, May 12). While I fully support the views expressed in the rest of the article, and have been actively speaking out in favor of a two-committee UC, the target of a termbill protest would not be the UC, but innocent student groups and house committees. Many student groups, such as the Harvard College Democrats, derive a large part of their funding from the UC. Depriving them of this funding because of the UC’s deficiency would paralyze...

...Iran fails to halt enrichment. The meeting failed to achieve agreement, as China and Russia remained firmly opposed to a resolution even threatening sanctions. Moscow and Beijing are urging both sides to take more steps to cool the atmosphere of confrontation and seek a diplomatic compromise. But the prime target for a new diplomatic push from Iran, however, may be the U.S. allies in Europe, led by Germany - and backed by a growing number of voices in the U.S. political establishment - urging the Bush administration to hold direct talks with Iran as part of the search for a diplomatic solution...
