...There is no right or wrong bureaucratic structure. There are some useful overlaps (in internships) with what OCS and OIP do, and so a re-association can make sense,” Kirby wrote in an e-mail. “But the purpose of OIP has been above all academic: to expand the educational opportunities of Harvard students.

...What?" by Joe Klein [Feb. 1]: President Obama spent a year working within the system to bring change. Wrong choice. Special interests gutted the reform out of the health care, banking and climate-and-energy bills, showing that congressional Democrats are as susceptible to the influence of money as Republicans.

Moreover, despite a 2005 U.N. convention setting legal requirements for fighting corruption, Valerian says many Western countries have been slow to apply the measures and tend to view corruption in the developing nations they deal with as being too rife and politically touchy to battle...
