...editors: While we agree with the Crimson staff editorial “No House Arrests” (Jan. 12) that the detention of Amar C. Bakshi ’06 in Zimbabwe must not result in the College re-tightening its travel policy, we disagree with the staff’s outlined reasons. The editorial stated that Bakshi’s ordeal should not concern Harvard because it was self-financed and because, under the current policy, it is debatable whether research in a country like Zimbabwe would be eligible for Harvard funding anyway.

...Russia, both of which have significant economic ties to Iran, are not likely to agree to trade sanctions. Instead, the Council may begin by simply demanding that Iran comply with its obligations under the NPT. It could then move to more limited forms of sanction, such as imposing travel restrictions on members of the regime. Less clear is what might happen if diplomatic pressure fails to persuade Iran to back down. Military strikes by the U.S. or Israel could destroy individual facilities but would almost certainly raise the level of hostility toward the West throughout the region and provoke retaliation...
...part of his effort to shake up management at Time Warner (parent company of Time.com), investor Carl Icahn has been railing of late against what he calls excessive perks at the media giant, most notably the five corporate planes used by top executives for both business and personal travel.

...almost certainly a backlash to the shockingly egregious instances of expense-account excess that have come to light in recent years. In one case, brokers hoping to win more business from Fidelity Investments treated one of the firm?s traders to a lavish bachelor party, including private jet travel, female companionship and, yes, dwarf tossing, not necessarily in that order. The hosts expensed it. Last year, the CEO of Savvis Communications resigned in the wake of a $241,000 charge to his corporate card during an evening with business associates at a strip club in New York...
Disney's lineup includes next December's eccentric time-travel tale Meet the Robinsons, with a critter comedy, American Dog, and a familiar fairy tale, Rapunzel, in years ahead. Set for 2007 is Enchanted, a live-action-plus-animation hybrid la Roger Rabbit, about a storybook princess who enters the real world of modern Manhattan. Then there's Gnomeo & Juliet, a musical remake of Shakespeare's tragedy (it worked for West Side Story) featuring garden gnomes, with songs by executive producer Elton John. Disney is also developing a new Three Little Pigs, using Caldecott Award winner David Wiesner...
