...words and actions of every member of the Harvard community. As such, while we cannot sweep these cadets’ concerns to the side by claiming a principled stance, neither can we simply ignore the deep injustice of a policy that excludes and discharges individuals for speaking a truth about themselves...
...same thing has happened with the truth commission that Pelosi so ardently wants, in order to investigate the Bush Administration's policies on torture. Obama has long resisted looking back, in part for what most people agree are shrewd political reasons.

In Tuesday's special election, the electorate must choose among a range of propositions aimed at solidifying that compromise and helping shore up California's shaky finances. So far, however, nearly all the ballot propositions are trailing in the polls - and that could rock the state as hard as a major earthquake.
