...Tyre, “Sometime in the first trimester, a boy fetus begins producing male sex hormones that bathe his brain in testosterone for the rest of his gestation,” which, of course, “wires the male brain differently.” How can you blame a guy for playing a violent video game instead of reading Jane Austen when our brains have been soaked in testosterone? Personally, I find it very frustrating to discover that my brain has been “bathed” with a hormone the primary goal of which...
...toppling Saddam Hussein, consider that the worst repressor of individual freedom in the Middle East - Iran - is still busy fomenting strife among its neighbors. Its hand shows up in not just Iraq but also Syria and Lebanon. It is convenient for Iran's supreme leader, Ayatullah Ali Khamenei, to blame the U.S. for Iraq's current troubles while his agents are busy there. Iran's militant regime is sowing chaos in the Middle East as it goes flat out to develop nuclear weapons. It needs a distracted West and a war-torn Iraq to accomplish that goal. The sooner...
...cultural groups at Harvard and of attempts by political groups to foster more diverse memberships: well intentioned, yet ultimately unsuccessful. Student groups’ attempts at establishing cross-cultural links are too often superficial, based mainly on co-sponsorship and publicity campaigns.

But rather than an indication that meaningful links are impossible, this experience should serve as a striking reason why campus political...
...that the College now understands what we have known all along: The price of coursepacks has spiraled out of control. Allan Powell, general manager at the Coop, says that Harvard undergraduates have spent over $700,000 on coursepacks this year at the Coop alone. But don’t blame the distributors for high prices: After the Coop’s rebate, the profit margin on coursepacks is negligible. Coursepacks are expensive because the copyright royalties for articles quickly add up. When you also factor in commercial printing costs, it’s not unusual for a coursepack to cost...
...that, Gompert puts the blame squarely on the Iraqi government, then under Iyad Allawi, as well as the American embassy. With the U.S. military engaged in several major operations in 2004 and the government transitioning from the CPA to a more traditional diplomatic presence with the arrival of U.S. ambassador John Negroponte at the end of June, Gompert says, neither Allawi nor the U.S made the reintegration program a priority. Job training programs run by Allawi's Labor Ministry were cancelled over personal feuds and pension programs and other aspects of the program of DDR - "demilitarization, demobilization and reintegration" - were...
