...half. The Crimson was never down by more than one the rest of the game. “He knocked down a big three for us,” coach Amaker said. “He’s still not in the condition we need him in, but today??s a big step. It’s nice to have Unger in the rotation, giving us some production we sorely needed tonight.” A TALE OF TWO HALVES After accounting for the majority of the Crimson offense over its first six games, Harvard?...
...unsustainability of today??s trends cannot be emphasized enough. Ecologically, the critique has always been obvious: The consumption patterns familiar to many Western citizens today simply cannot be universally adopted. Instead, according to one environmentalist, if climate cataclysms are to be averted, we will have to reduce per capita carbon emissions to around 0.4-0.5 tons annually (the average American emits six tons). This is almost surely impossible barring a total transformation of current structures of consumption and production. As another, no less ominous example, consider the fact that mainstream economics has no answers for the displaced rural...

Like foreigners, Americans feel threatened. American politicians have turned whether...
American political leaders have rightly painted today??s conference at Annapolis as the greatest hope for Middle East peace since 2000’s ill-fated Camp David. Yet for all the lip service paid to peace in the Middle East, few in America’s Jewish or Muslim communities seem ready to acknowledge that successful dialogue demands more than the criticism and finger pointing that has come to define it of late. The result has been a discourse marked by superficial overtures to cooperation masking deep-seeded intransigency.True compromise requires introspection, mutual respect, and?...
