Poll after poll before the midterm elections last week asked Americans one question: Which issue is most important to you in deciding your Congressional votes? In the majority of those polls, significant proportions of voters cited Iraq as their single most pressing concern. When the Democrats gained control of both the House and Senate for the first time since 1994, the electorate sent an unambiguous message that they were furious with the Bush administration’s failed foreign policy and handling of Iraq...
...hoping that the involvement in our committee and the fact that it has a voice winds up legitimizing what the Corporation is doing,” said Verba, the outgoing director of the University Library. He added that formal consultation with faculty was important to overcome a concern that the Corporation resembled “a Star Chamber—closed in, doing whatever it does.”Members of FAS say that their input—often in the form of prioritizing qualities that professors think Summers lacked—will help the search committee avoid mistakes they...

...Lebanon really knows how this game of chicken will play out. Beirut has been tense all week, with police units out in force around key government buildings, checking bags and scaring off what few tourists remain in the city. The concern is that Hizballah anti-government demonstrations will provoke pro-government counter demonstrations, risking confrontations between the two sides. In the meantime, the country's economy, already burdened by this summer's destruction, will continue to suffer. Post-war reconstruction remains in paralysis...
