...Insurgent And The Soldier," Simon Robinson noted the similarities between "Ahmed," an Iraqi guerrilla, and U.S. Staff Sergeant Richard Bear [Nov. 17]. But it would be misleading to believe the two have equally valid goals and beliefs. That would be like equating the American liberators of concentration camps with the Nazi murderers who created them. Ahmed was a commando in the Fedayeen Saddam militia before the war. There can be no true similarity between a supporter of Saddam Hussein's and a soldier in the U.S. Army. Maybe Robinson should put down his pen or laptop, stop hiding behind...

Accordingly, his actions will not give rise to the first of the two strikes before a student is cut off from the network. The story is not over with respect to Diebold, but this is an important...
...article points out valid ways in which Harvard could be doing more to draw lower-income students, through more recruiting and making its financial aid program better known to many who assume Harvard is only for the wealthy. But it also shows what Harvard already does to increase access for those from lower-income backgrounds, such as considering social class as a “tip factor” to ensure that students who may have not had access to as many opportunities to excel due to financial constraints are given a fair chance in the admissions process...
