...crucial cluster of resources, undergraduates would have virtually no incentive to study development. Summers has indicated that should he proceed with a shutdown, students would not lose these programs. Yet even assuming the ideal scenario—that all the CID’s tasks were to seamlessly transfer to other Harvard organizations—students would lose out. This scattered arrangement could never be an adequate substitute for a central body committed to development. Other groups have pre-existing mandates and priorities, and development issues may or may not fall within their purview. The newly-housed programs might easily...
...Bush administration's battle to win international backing for its Iraq plan will hinge on how it resolves the tension between Iraqi sovereignty and U.S. security control. In his speech Monday aimed at reassuring a domestic audience increasingly skeptical over his handling of Iraq, President Bush vowed both to transfer "full sovereignty" to an Iraqi provisional government on June 30, and to maintain 138,000 U.S. troops (or, possibly, more) in Iraq "under American command." U.S. officials have also insisted, up to now, that American officers will have command responsibility for the Iraqi security forces. But sovereignty is like pregnancy...
...coalition forces prepare to transfer civil government at the end of June, some of the Iraqi soldiers of sound integrity, who lost their jobs when their country's military was disbanded, should be recalled and integrated into an Iraqi civil-defense corps.

Bush's test is to explain to the country what comes next--what, if anything, the U.S. is really going to hand off to the Iraqis when the vaunted June 30 sovereignty transfer takes place. U.S. forces will be rotating in and out of Iraq for years, and their numbers are expected to stay at current levels through 2005. Bush has resisted calls to move up Iraqi elections from next year; his advisers concede that the road leading into and out of June 30 will be bumpy. "Will it happen right on time?" asked Rumsfeld. "I think so. I hope...
...nastier as the handover approaches. A senior coalition official told TIME that the insurgents are showing more coordination and sophistication than they did just a few months ago. And U.S. commanders fear that the insurgents have set their sights on Baghdad, in hopes of sabotaging the June 30 transfer of power. "You can't be sovereign if you can't control your own capital," says a senior military source. "That's where the action is going to be as we get closer to June...
