...over (as are the days when Time dared run such provocative covers). Replace “God” with “genius,” though, and the impertinent question remains just as pertinent. Last Thursday, Harvard’s Center for European Studies hosted a talk titled “On Genius and Geniuses in the Eighteenth Century.” At ease at the head of the Cabot Room’s oval table, a tan, tweed-clad Florida State professor delved into the religious and cultural roots of Enlightenment conceptions of “genius...
...Huybers, and Rebecca D. Onie ’98-’97, co-founder and CEO of Project HEALTH will be awarded a $500,000 grant, which can be used for any purpose. “The award is an extraordinary opportunity: it gives us a forum to talk about [public health] at time when the health care debate is really heating up,” said Onie, who founded Project HEALTH with Chief of Pediatrics at Boston Medical Center Barry S.

The Palestinians have lost all faith in the Israeli government's willingness to make the concessions needed for a credible two-state solution and see U.S. pressure as the only way to achieve that outcome. That's the message in Abbas' refusal to talk in the absence of a settlement freeze. But after demanding such a freeze and then being rebuffed by Netanyahu, Obama finds himself trying to imagine a peace process between two leaders whose visions of peace are incompatible with those of their counterparts. The fact that they'll still show...
