Their platform is one of the most expansive I have seen in my four years here, as it pushes the council to include the interests of a wider range of students—including low-income students (free laundry privileges and minimum printing budgets), female students (the establishment of a women’s center) and student group leaders (centralized information about reserving space on and off campus). Moreover, it challenges the university to push for staff diversity, not only in ethnicity and gender, but also in ideology, to truly challenge the way students think about the world...
...used to it. Until now, the Grand store has been just a small-scale experiment to lure shoppers in more often and stop Sears from being squeezed by discounters on the low end and big-box specialty retailers on the high end.

Exile and inaction never yield positive results. While it is true that peaceful methods of promoting the cause of Tibetan freedom should be adopted, what has the Dalai Lama done to direct these efforts? In today's world, substituting philosophy...
Ashcroft's methods strengthened Gonzales' hand at the White House, where he performed as a kind of Administration superlawyer, overseeing a wide variety of legal policies across the government, as well as the vetting and selection of judicial nominations. But in his wider policymaking role, Gonzales made his own mistakes. After 9/11, his office became the crossroads of much of the Administration's legal thinking in the war on terrorism--thinking that has not always stood up under scrutiny...
