...hope Juliet Samuel (“A Place Called Community,” op-ed, Sep. 18) means well, but she seems rather misinformed about the ways the English system of university education works. Although I am told she is British, I took a degree from Oxbridge, and I cannot say I recognize those esteemed universities in the caricature she presents. Oxbridge undergrads and grad students enjoyed a healthy social life with all sorts of people, not just their entryway cohort, at least in my experience of less than 10 years ago. Merely being part of the same college gave...
...uncertainty associated with the new diktat can be paralyzing. Many student groups depend heavily on gift account contributions for their source of funding. The Harvard College in Asia Project (HCAP), for example, derives 35 percent of its budget from donations to its gift account. Without transparency and clarity, they cannot adjust their spending plans and fundraising goals. The advantage of using gift accounts in the first place is that they offer both donors and student groups a substantial advantage over direct contributions. Gift accounts enable donors to deduct their donations from their taxes because the recipient of the donations...
...writing by writing his Phaedrus, so there is at least some precedent for this type of thing. Despite my inclinations there are some ways in which newspapers do bring harm.It is an unfortunate truth that an equitable Middle East settlement or a full portrait of broad trends like globalization cannot be reduced to 600-800 words. Thomas Friedman, recognizing the limitations of his column, wrote a full-length book on globalization to fill in the gaps of analysis left in the interstitial spaces between his previous columns. Then he did it all over again.News stories do, however, differ from columns...
...Freedom, by its nature, cannot be imposed - it must be chosen. From Beirut to Baghdad, people are making the choice for freedom. And the nations gathered in this chamber must make a choice, as well: Will we support the moderates and reformers who are working for change across the Middle East - or will we yield the future to the terrorists and extremists? America has made its choice: We will stand with the moderates and reformers...
...brink of collapse as a nation-state, and more than 40,000 Iraqi civilians have been killed since the U.S. invasion that has turned the country into the fulcrum of regional instability, sectarian conflict and terrorism. So, President Bush's audience at the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday cannot help but recall his address to the same forum four years ago, when he made a case for war with Iraq based on a litany of what turned out to be spurious claims concerning active nuclear and chemical weapons programs and ties with al-Qaeda...
