...Corus by making a preliminary $8.5 billion offer, 4.4% more than Tata's buyout proposal. Says Rajat Gupta, former global managing director of McKinsey & Company and the first Indian-born CEO of a large U.S. multinational: "It's a gathering trend, but to say that we are somehow uniquely terrific at globalizing, I don't think the evidence supports that. There is no track record yet of Indian companies...
...East, and that for the few months remaining in his premiership, he shouldn't just sit around. But his foreign-policy speech at the [an error occurred while processing this directive] Guildhall last week, followed by videolink testimony to the Baker-Hamilton commission in Washington that's tasked with somehow extricating the U.S. from Iraq, makes me think Blair's remarkable self-belief, so often his most potent tool, is now clouding his judgment.

...against Western norms. The death penalty fits into this final category. While it is the U.S.’ sovereign right to execute its inmates, and there is disagreement among philosophers as to the morality of capital punishment, it was still uniformly denounced in class as an abominable practice, somehow alien to Western norms. The seminar, then, employs ever-shifting criteria by which to gauge U.S. foreign policy, ensuring that almost every U.S. action is soundly criticized. This chameleon critique means that, should a student have the temerity to defend the United States on certain grounds, Professor Scott will always...
