...country so assured of its multi-cultural constituency, the U.S. may need to consider revising its greeting protocol. Perhaps a simple, “Hi, how was your flight?” might trump the condemning and suspicious stare which makes you wonder, “Did I leave that C4 in my bag?” But don’t think things get any better after surviving immigration—America’s “foreigner relations” aren’t about to improve. Sure, you escaped the armed guards, fingerprinting and interrogations about...
...wonder if there any way to selectively give a group of students 24-hour access rights. A condition of getting access could be attendance at a meeting where ground rules would be explained—like the importance of not allowing another student to enter behind oneself without showing Harvard ID. Students who self-selected and opted to get 24-hour access could sign a contract which states that they know what is expected of them and that they understand any consequences if they do break the rules.

"He has moral authority, and he's not seen as ethnically prejudiced." But that's different...
...wonder if the lesson of Churchill now haunts the office of Bush political strategist Karl Rove. For something not completely dissimilar seems to be happening to George W. Bush. Since just after the capture of Saddam, Bush's ratings have been slumping. And this is less surprising than it appears. The paradox of the war against terrorism is that the more the President succeeds, the more politically vulnerable he gets. The fewer the terrorist incidents, the more remote the fear, the less necessary the war seems and the more dispensable the war President appears. If he responds to this...
