...hallmark of a Harvard education, it is argued, is its commitment to a liberal arts curriculum—one that is not wedded to preprofessional or vocational utility, but the development of the well-rounded individual.

The hallmark of his characters is the fumbling confession of furtive love; but in this idealized Catalonia, where nothing romantic is forbidden, everything is beautiful, as natural as breathing in sync with the woman who has fallen asleep in your arms...

Western diplomats have watched from the sidelines with unease. While they encourage reconciliation with low-level militants and tribal leaders, when it comes to al-Qaeda and top-level commanders, "you have got to draw the line," says one. "We have lists of people that are probably irreconcilable...
