...library after receiving an e-mail from the Web site. And when a student criticized an economics professor for pushing a socialist viewpoint—through the anonymous e-mail system—the professor explained his teaching in a mass message to the class and changed the course problem sets to reflect a wider perspective. Joshua R. Weinstein, vice president of Princeton’s student government and the site’s creator, said its inception “was sort of spontaneous.” Weinstein added that he got the idea for the Web site after...
...film’s real problem is Charles Farmer. Farmer is neither despicable nor compelling; he’s not much of anything. His desire for space travel seems selfish. If the film had dwelt in this complexity, it might have been a different (and better) production, but it avoids conflict at all costs.

Russia's suppression machine is strong as ever, and most people still believe in their Good Czar President, even if they have lost confidence in the state institutions. Putin does not have much to fear - yet. However, if there is a lesson to draw from a history of Soviet experience, it's this: power and might don't matter much if the exhausted people lose their faith...
