...moderate drinking culture in a state and legal framework that makes it extremely difficult to do so. Harvard could quite easily continue to turn a blind eye to drinking problems on campus, but with a new record for hospital admissions being broken each year, and Harvard being on track to a record number of sexual assaults, the University really must ask itself whether it can really be so narrow minded in defining its responsibilities...
...White House's first choice to seek the seat being vacated by Democratic veteran Fritz Hollings. But the fit wasn't an entirely natural one for an Administration that prizes loyalty above all things. In the House, DeMint voted to give the President the authority to conduct fast-track trade negotiations with foreign countries, but only after extracting a list of concessions to protect South Carolina's textile industry. He also voted against one of Bush's legislative crown jewels, the Medicare prescription-drug benefit, worried that it was too costly. And for a former adman, he had a couple...
...country will seldom discharge a Commander in Chief during wartime, particularly one who had sustained a higher level of approval for longer than any modern U.S. President. Economist Ray Fair devised a model that weighs inflation and growth rates, and by his formula, Bush looked on track to win 58% of the popular vote. And he was running against a New England Senator so stiff, he creaked, when no non-Southern Democrat has won in 44 years...

In a sense, Taha's take on Rock the Casbah on his new CD answers the provocative question posed by the title track, Tékitoi? (Who Are You?). "I'm a French rock 'n' roller with deep Arab roots," says Taha, 46, in his low growl. "I'm a European born in Africa and a Muslim musician with a rock attitude. Tékitoi? is a reminder that people can affirm their...
...Beatles or Led Zep used Eastern influences or instruments, it was said to add ambiance or texture," he muses. "But when an Arab does that, it's said to be traditional and exotic." Tékitoi? might seem like an attempt to cross over; after all, the title track is sung mostly in French, and Taha continues to use producer Steve Hillage - a former guitarist with the 1970s band Gong who has since produced groups including Simple Minds. But Tékitoi? retains a strong north African flavor and reaffirms Taha's reputation as a politically engaged singer...
