...northern half of the island since invading in 1974 in response to an increase in fighting between Greek and Turkish Cypriots sparked by an Athens-backed coup.

"We will not make a move without it being matched," a Turkish Foreign Ministry official told Time last week. Finland, which currently holds the presidency of the E.U., tried to avert the current crisis by proposing that one Turkish Cypriot port be opened in exchange for handing...

...Initiative, an advocacy group at Harvard which aims to increase the size and scope of South Asian studies here.Most striking is the dearth of faculty when compared to Harvard’s peer institutions, especially those in the Ivy League. Including non-tenured faculty members, FAS currently has a total of 17 professors under the aegis of what we could broadly call South Asian studies. Meanwhile, Yale boasts 55 such faculty, Cornell, 45, Columbia, 34, and the University of Pennsylvania, 41. Attracting a larger corps of committed faculty is a prerequisite for much of the functions of a flourishing department...
