...must ratify treaties, voted 95 to 0 that any global-warming pact that came before it must treat developed and developing countries equally. Such a repudiation is one more argument the Administration is using to pull the plug on Kyoto - though the Senate was probably driven by more than mere conscience. One of the 1997 resolution's sponsors was Democratic Senator Robert Byrd, from the coal-producing state of West Virginia. Other interests - notably the oil and coal industries, both heavy contributors to Bush's election campaign - also had the President...
...living wage sit-in was made necessary by the continued refusal and delay by the administration to move beyond mere recommendations it made in last May’s report. The administration has not fully implemented its own recommended changes and has since refused to reconsider the issue of a living wage. The staff recognizes the validity of this goal but not the means taken. This is a crucial time in this campaign, and the staff should not refuse its support to the protesters sitting in at Massachusetts Hall and to those who have joined their cause...

Fortunately, Altan’s delightful interpretation of these jigs erases any such thoughts, leaving behind naught but the memory of that lovely fiddling. The opening track, “There’s a Fair Tomorrow (Beidh Aonach Amarach)” is a stirring...
...Corporation member was invaded. And with its calls of “No justice, no quiet,” PSLM has also disrupted the lives of those unlucky students who reside in Massachusetts Hall and are forced to share the building with the protestors. These were not mere side effects of an otherwise innocuous protest—indeed, the very purpose of the sit-in was to leverage possession of Massachusetts Hall into influence over University policy. Differences with the administration over the living wage should be addressed through efforts to convince, not to compel. PSLM is now attempting...
