...likely to pounce hard in revenge. But denial is built in to alcoholism: there ought to be someone, somewhere in a British newsroom who can verify that. And as lies go, Kennedy's were fairly victimless. No, there's definitely a dose of false sanctimony in the rush to trash Kennedy's mea culpa. It recalls the frenzy last autumn with which the British press jumped on model Kate Moss, after pictures seemed to show her snorting cocaine in a London studio. (Last week, a Metropolitan Police official invited Moss to return to Britain to make a confession...
...Haiti (MINUSTAH). And even that guarantee is a limited one. The 9,600 person force is made up of combined civilian police and military personnel from several dozen countries and is led by the Brazilians who are proud of their humanitarian work--building and road repair, medical treatment and trash collection, all crucial tasks in a country where basic services have all but collapsed.

The door on the elevator traversing the shaft between the basement and second floor of Memorial Hall does its best Star Wars trash-compactor impression every time you push “2.” The door closes so slowly that most students save their Justice section reading for the ride up.Eight: Make Gov office hours equal-opportunity. Gov-jocks are somewhat of a thing of the past now that the Government department...
...flew home to spend a marvelous weekend with my family in New Orleans. Amid the blue tarps over most roofs, the fallen trees on the front lawns and the mountains of trash, the live, positive spirit of New Orleans is strongly felt by every person who has returned home. What I gained from my visit was not a memory of disaster but a feeling of gratitude. The laughter and optimism reflected in the smiles of the people I met showed that no matter how much was lost, they are grateful to be alive. Nain Martinez Jr. Berkeley, California...
