Sadly, one of the continual refrains of American wartime policy has been for the government to limit the liberties of groups deemed to be potential threats; the internment of Japanese-Americans in World War II is the most prominent example...
...like that, and we are smart enough to realize that Lewis’ fire-and-brimstone language about the dangers of drunkenness, although pegged to kegs at Harvard-Yale weekend, condemns intoxication regardless of the vessel or the occasion.

"There is so much promise from the great talent in this country that AIDS should not limit it," Gates said. Cultivating that talent is the goal of Gates' second gift: a $400 million investment in India, birthplace of one-fifth of Microsoft's programmers. Some of the money is for education and free Microsoft programs?including a special $20 million grant to train teachers in I.T.?but most...
