Finally and most importantly, a faculty senate would only further retard progress at Harvard. On this page and on campus, a consensus has developed that if Harvard is to maintain its preeminence in academia, it must institute broad, progressive changes, something that has proven to be very difficult at an institution with a tremendous amount of inertia, history, and tradition. A University senate with more than symbolic power would only be an impediment to progress, slowing down the implementation of important decisions so they can be discussed at length by faculty members with already busy schedules—and that...
...Charles E. Schumer ’71 (D-N.Y.) that the deal would constitute a threat to national security, suggesting it would be akin to blessing an Islamo-terrorist “infiltration” of our ports, are both sensationalist and misleading. Attempts to halt its progress are misguided. The deal, which was approved by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States in mid-January, would change next to nothing beyond the letterhead of the shipping manifests.

For owners and operators, the whole point isn't creating a profitable new energy resource for the U.S.; it's about collecting the tax subsidy. Progress Energy Inc. of Raleigh, N.C., which owns electric utilities that serve portions of the Carolinas and Florida, reported in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that in 2002-04 its synfuel-production losses added up to $400 million. No problem: the company claimed $852 million in tax credits...
When it comes to Asian grape wine, many of us are hard-pressed to name as many as one or two labels. Those who dine frequently at Chinese restaurants may be familiar with brands like Great Wall or Dynasty. And the steady progress of Indian cuisine from takeaway fodder to the dainty, ghee-free offerings of designer restaurants has also brought the name of Dindori Reserve-a decent Shiraz from India's Sula vineyards-to greater notice. But what about other Eastern bottlings...
