...corrective shock. After refusing for months to venture into the unpromising business of trucemaking, the Bush Administration said it would send special Middle East envoy Anthony Zinni to the region for just that purpose. Bowing to a crucial Israeli demand, Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat had his forces arrest the fifth and final suspect in the October killing of an Israeli Cabinet minister. And Sharon made his own concession. He did not take back his threat to "batter" the Palestinians--though he claimed to have meant not Palestinians generally but terrorists--but he said he was dropping his insistence...
Today should be a day of reflection for all Americans. As we all know, March 12th marks the three month anniversary of Winona Ryder’s arrest in the Hollywood Saks Fifth Avenue department store.

For a start, drug use is not illegal in Switzerland, and possession of .2 grams or less of cocaine doesn't warrant arrest. Also, Swiss...
...janitors’ contract itself shows the need for a stronger student labor movement. After months of pressure, including the arrest of nine people in an action of civil disobedience, Harvard was still able to keep wages at $11.35 per hour, basically settling with the union for the same wages proposed in their unofficial offer before the demonstration. This outcome shows the strength of the University’s resistance to change. Most janitors feel that $11.35 per hour is not enough money, as do many PSLM members and other activists. Under the new contract, some janitors, denied a raise...
