...matter how many times I read predictions of China's bright future, I still worry about my country. As an overseas student whose parents are both laid-off workers because of China's economic reforms, I am not so optimistic. I believe that many people are so shocked by China's extraordinary rise that in some ways they ignore what hides behind the prosperity: the expanding income gap between rich and poor, a worsening environment caused by immoderate industrialization and corruption in the government. There are so many acute problems to be solved in modern China. The country is developing...
...overtime defeat at the hands of Boston College in the opening round of Boston’s hallowed Beanpot Tournament.

To forever change our way of life by inducing...
...have granted the Arabs no voice. It is grotesque to invite the mute to sing. In Kafr Qaddum, an Arab village in the hills of the West Bank not far from Nablus, the people have strewn boulders across the road to stop intrusions. They are frightened. The sun is bright, vivid. A red-green-white-and-black Palestinian flag on a makeshift pole flies from the mosque in the distance. Now one sees the young Palestinian, wrapped in a dense, irrational thunder, walking up the road. His legs move like scissors, stiffly; his body is jolted with anger. His eyes...
