When he talks about the war in iraq, Jim Webb-the Democrat running for the U.S. Senate from Virginia-likes to paraphrase Dwight Eisenhower on the war in Korea. "Anyone who tells you we can set a timetable for withdrawal doesn't understand war," he says. "And anyone who says that nothing can be done to speed a secure peace doesn't understand America." Yeah, but America is a less disciplined place than it was 50 years ago, and speeding a secure peace requires some focus from a country-and an Administration-that is largely awol on Iraq. Webb...
...European telecom company were disappointing, and the recent lopping off of the mobile unit was a complete U-turn after it had been fused with the fixed-line only two years ago, contends Michele Pollo, chairman of the economics department at Milan's Bocconi University. "It's hard to understand just what they have in mind, strategically," says Pollo. For now, Milanese lawyer Guido Rossi has stepped in as acting chairman.

...belief in what the Harvard student should be. The College prides itself on the breadth and depth of its student body, and, in attracting our generation’s best and brightest, strives to develop those students that they may become leaders and engineers of worldwide progress. As I understand, Dean Fitzsimmons and his staff set about each year to assemble a class of individuals. Harvard could easily fill its ranks with valedictorians or 1600s (apologies, 2400s). It deliberately chooses not to do so because such a class would not serve the University or each other well. Instead, Harvard...
