...Lula is elected and Washington is wise, the U.S. will accept occasional annoyances with Brazil (Lula will doubtless make nice with Fidel Castro) as a price worth paying for something rather remarkable. It has been 20 years since, in her unwitting gift to Latin America, Margaret Thatcher defeated the Argentine junta in the Falklands war and revealed the bankruptcy of politics run by men in dark glasses and military uniforms. Democracy in Latin America is robust; Hakim calls last week's election "tremendously clean, competent and decent." One mark of health in any democracy is the election of those...
...teach students to drink responsibly. Students will drink—and possibly get drunk—if they want to, and the best thing the university can do is to minimize the dangers. If the administration wants to address the real problem of binge-drinking, they would be wise to implement programs that will make a difference.

Pearson says she has sackfuls of mail from women who reject what they have seen in the boardroom. "Who wants to sit at ludicrous meetings in some testosterone jungle," Pearson asks, "and think of our children as problems...
...Ever the point woman of this particular mission, Sprow is on her cell phone to Seyfarth at midnight and gets the word that the famed Pfoho dance party may end shortly. Sprow is cool like Kiefer Sutherland under the pressure and makes the executive (and wise) decision to remain at the river. As the dreaded 1 a.m. deadline approaches, the girls make a final and brief Hail Mary of a stop at nearby Eliot to check out some football beef before Penny-packing it in for the night...
