...will help with the security situation. But that remains to be seen. Part of our effort here is to get the Iraqis more engaged in security and in gathering intelligence. I think the military strategy of getting Iraqis to take responsibility over their own security has already begun to yield dividends in terms of finding out where the bad guys...
...called "mini nukes". What impact will that have? It sends a powerfully wrong message. You cannot say that nuclear weapons should not spread to new countries and at the same time try to embark on research into 'useable' nuclear weapons, (which) by the way would have half the yield of the Hiroshima bomb. The U.S. says you no longer have a role in Iraq. What is your view? We could close the nuclear file faster than the U.S. team, and for less money. We have the experience. We know where to go. We know the scientists. And we have credibility...

As we know, the Quad is no longer enough to satiate the Harvard housing monster, and since those ungrateful commie Cantabrigians won’t yield any land, the University may need to exile students to Allston—all the way across the Charles. But students won’t want to be “rivered” any more than they want to be “Quadded.” Cambridge ought to just...
Moving up in the rankings requires raising a school’s average SAT scores, lowering its acceptance rate and increasing its yields (the ratio of those who are admitted versus those who finally attend). To do that, some admissions offices pad their incoming classes with high scorers and early admits, whose higher likelihood of attendance pushes acceptance rates down and yield up, says Amherst’s Parker, an outspoken critic on this issue...

The money sacrificed today to begin educating students during this critical age, setting them on a path toward their greatest potential, will yield enduring returns in the form of the higher economic productivity from a more highly educated workforce. Eliminating Romney’s tax cuts would raise state annual revenues by several hundred million dollars a year, providing more than enough money to pay for the plan...
