King's commitment to nonviolence convinces me that he would abhor all the bloodshed and strife that besiege America today. Murderous gangs, violent disrespect for women and cruelty to animals would be anathema to King. No black or white civil rights activist in the U.S. has filled King's void. Fortunately, his pacifist ideology profoundly influenced South Africa's social-justice icons Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu. BRIEN COMERFORD Glenview...
...students are skipping class, and professors do not want to feel like they are lecturing into a void, they will naturally feel compelled to counteract their students’ idleness by offering incentives to get to class on time or instating penalties for skipping it.

...enter the winter holidays, but it is a fitting way for the European Union to mark the end of a genuinely bad year. As government leaders gather this week in Brussels for a bruising negotiating marathon over the budget for 2007 to 2013, they are looking into a void.

They also suggest that, if you're out of the solution, running the Scooba with plain water will work...
...college acclimation process a second time is not an appealing prospect. Nevertheless, these concerns are the products of Hurricane Katrina’s devastation, not of Harvard’s lack of hospitality. In the fall, these students had nowhere to go, and Harvard offered to fill this void until the crisis had passed. Now, Tulane is able and eager to welcome these students back to its campus. The expected return to Tulane is not a perfect solution, but perfect solutions cannot reasonably be expected in the face of a catastrophe like Katrina...
