...welcome the Crimson’s thoughtful challenge to the Government Department thrown out in their piece, “A New Course for Government” (editorial, Feb. 7). We understand that students may be discovering smaller concentrations outside the social sciences, and we applaud these adventures—though we continue to believe that no study is more important or more riveting than the study of politics! We believe that we have a complement of stellar teachers, second to none. Students agree—enrollments in our courses are high and growing. As your editorial points out, however...
...mile (2,217 km) trip from New Delhi to Goa just before Christmas, for instance, took me 35 hours, almost a day longer than a train trip over a similar distance in Europe would take.

Running an "insurgent" campaign against a longtime incumbent, he has thrown in his lot with Obama. "I can knock on 50 doors in two hours or I can train 200 Obama supporters to go to the caucuses," Maxey says. What does he expect on Tuesday? "A wipeout," he says as Bill Clinton gives one last wave to the crowd and leaves...
Like leap years and the Summer Olympics, Ralph Nader’s presidential bids appear quadrennially with unfailing reliability. In every presidential election since 1992, Nader has thrown his hat into the ring, hoping his long-shot candidacy will reshape the American political landscape. Last Sunday, we found out that 2008 will be no exception, as that esteemed elder statesman of presidential politics (at 74 years of age he makes John McCain look youthful) announced that he would enter the fray once more...
