...that the Second Amendment is preventing aggressive federal gun regulation. According to the Centers for Disease Control, in 2005, 68 percent of the 14,860 homicides in the United States were gun-related. Given the pervasiveness of gun violence that occurs in this country every year, this sort of uneven gun control is unacceptable, especially when it comes to handguns. Unlike rifles and shotguns, a handgun has little use in hunting: It is a military and police weapon, built expressly to kill another human being. Yet little is done to prevent its distribution: In Virginia, any person over...
...late been living up to at least some of the expectations that surrounded his potential candidacy through the spring and summer. Surprising many skeptics, he has issued substantive policy proposals on reforming Social Security, dealing with immigration and enlarging the U.S. military. The proposals themselves have been uneven; as my colleague Mark Thompson has written, Senator Thompson's plans to expand the size of the Army to 775,000 troops and to mandate that the Pentagon's budget be set at 4.6% of GDP are both problematic.

Penn’s best remaining player is Brian Grandieri, whose legs are of uneven length (true story). On top of Jaaber and Zoller, Penn skipper Glen Miller lost Steve Danley, the erudite center who guest-blogged for The New York Times last March. For the first time in a long time, the Quakers should be free to blog by late February. 5. HARVARDThe arrival...
...Nothing is usual in the Philippines these days. On the face of things, the country is doing well enough. After decades of uneven growth, the economy finally seems on the mend. Meanwhile, the festering insurgencies in the country's south, which have claimed more than 160,000 lives since the 1970s, have entered an uneasy lull. In recent weeks, however, the Arroyo administration has been beset by fresh allegations of corruption, giving the impression of a government under siege. Last week, former President Fidel Ramos, a widely respected figure, warned Arroyo that she was losing public trust: "I have told...
