...supporters of a student center rightly remind us of the need for institutions to bring Harvard students together. But by persisting in an unrealistic desire for a new building, we neglect the many ways that we can improve the environment we already inhabit to support student groups and strengthen our community...
...ignoring some of the integral humanitarian issues and instead focusing on violent, lethal means to a successful defeat of the guerillas and paramilitary groups, the U.S. demonstrates its complete neglect of human need.

U.S. aid to Nigeria has mushroomed from $7 million two years ago - funneled around the government to humanitarian groups - to $108 million today. While that's a sharp rise, it still amounts to less than $1 annually per Nigerian...
