However, just like living in any other demographic bubble, age homogeneity can cause us to lose perspective. After hearing me fret over a course grade one of my academic advisors, reminded me “The skills that make you academically successful are different from the skills that are valuable in the workplace.” When you get wrapped up in the measures of and goals of college life, it’s useful to be reminded that Harvard is a four-year world whose influence will eventually yield to that of some employer or spouse you haven?...
It’s ironic that age segregation at college goes largely unquestioned, given that this reality in other parts of society is so contentious. Age segregation among the elderly is a source of serious debate; the question of whether retirement communities prevent social integration is a contentious one. Although the concerns may be slightly different in the case of college students, the problem is the same. Living with hundreds of people your age just isn’t normal, so let’s try not to get used...

The message: If the Americans and NATO create problems for the Taliban in Afghanistan, then Taliban militants have the option to target American sites anywhere. And in that case, "Peshawar is the easiest target," says Dr. Hasan Askari Rizvi, a defense analyst and professor emeritus of political science at the University of Punjab in Lahore...
