Alan Bernstein, executive director of the Global HIV Vaccine Enterprise, suggests that the debate over which analysis of the data matters most - as well as the rather clumsy manner in which the study was presented to the public - is secondary to what the research brings to the battle against HIV. "Let's not get hung up on tangential concerns, and stay focused on everyone's main priority: working our way toward getting a vaccine," Bernstein says. "This trial isn't the big bang.

David Kaiser ’69, who signed the letter to Faust, emphasized in an interview with The Crimson that the global financial crisis has exposed fundamental flaws in the aggressive strategies used by investors around the world.

Brazil, one of the new visiting members, would be an interesting choice to consider, as it exerts great strategic influence in South America, both militarily and environmentally (a growing global-security issue). Most clearly, however, Germany and Japan must be considered for permanent membership. The Security Council’s post-1945 composition obviously does not include those defeated Axis powers—Germany was not even one country for decades after the council formed. The geopolitical balance...
