...lucky to have card swiper (and bouncer) Tommy to guard the entrance to its small-ish dining hall, which has recently become more crowded with refugees from highly-restricted Adams, Lowell, and Leverett (negative points to you, other Houses!). But Kirkland's kitchen is one of the largest and easiest to navigate, with entrees and salad bar set off in different rooms. The House's grill chefs, once known for their superb breakfast omelets (rest in peace, hot breakfast), still serve up great greasy items for the other two meals of the day. Smaller tables allow for more intimate gatherings...
...Historians will debate the causes of Iraq's vicious outpouring of sectarian violence after the American invasion in 2003 - was it a reaction to the suppression of religious identity under Saddam Hussein or an extension of the policies of American administrators who found it easiest to deal with Iraqis through a crude sectarian and ethnic prism? Whatever the cause, the sectarian leaders who prevailed in the elections enabled by the U.S. proved incapable of peacefully resolving their differences, which were instead settled in the streets.

...experts say more needs to be done to rein in Wall Street compensation. In practice, it is often hard to get employees to return pay. Moves to limit clawbacks only to deferred compensation (money that is earned but not paid out until a specified future date), which is the easiest to recover, may actually increase risky behavior. What's more, clawbacks vary widely from firm to firm. Some provisions only cover top executives; other firms exclude top executives from the plans...
