During the Vietnam War and in the 30 plus years since the war has been over (depending on what date you count as the end of the war), people have visited and revisited what the U.S. did right – some say very little – and what the U.S. did wrong – some say a great deal – in the fighting of that war.

After the test is given in late spring, they start acting like real teachers in a real school -- they take the kids to museums and aquariums and to watch the Blue Angels perform. They make art and write poetry. But only in the short time between the state test and the end of the school year. Some people play it

      Global Security Stakes in Malaysian Stability Are Substantial
      As election fever takes hold in multi-religious Malaysia, which goes to the polls tomorrow, the world has a stake in seeing that the country continues to remain a model of a moderate Muslim democracy that does not tolerate Islamist-based terrorism and integrates a multi-faith, multi-ethnic society. While the ruling Barisan National Coalition has remained in power since Malaysia's independence half-a-century ago from the British, balancing the relationships among the country's multiple racial, religious...(read more)

      New Ford Focus Raises the Stakes
      The UK’s best-selling car has been totally updated – and we have driven it first. Ford’s new Focus hits showrooms in January with a restyled body and a more upmarket interior, and we’re the only magazine to give you the definitive verdict on the changes.On sale since 2004, Ford has decided now is the time for an overhaul. And following in the footsteps of the latest Mondeo, the Focus has been brought into line with its big brother, receiving a stylish new look.With rivals such as Peugeot’s 308 taking cabin quality forward, the Focus gets better materials and more equipment. Refinement has also been addressed and while the engine line-up is unchanged, a new DSG-style twin-clutch semi-auto gearbox will be available, plus a green Econetic model with emissions of less than 120g/km.But are these changes enough to keep the Focus on top of the sales charts? We took a test drive in what will be one of the flagship models, the 2.0-litre TDCi Titanium, to find out.Criticised for being

      Britain stakes claim to global climate leadership
      Prime Minister Gordon Brown yesterday promised Britain would take tough measures to fight the climate crisis and urged other world leaders to follow suit. Two weeks before a meeting of UN environment ministers on the Indonesian island of Bali to try to start urgent talks on finding a replacement to the Kyoto Protocol on cutting carbon emissions, Brown said concerted action was crucial.Kyoto, which took a decade to negotiate and bring into force, expires in 2012 and so far there is nothing to replace it and no agreement on what any follow-on treaty should contain, with the United States and China in particular at loggerheads. “The climate change crisis is the product of many generations, but overcoming it must be the great project of this generation. And it will have to involve not just Europe and America but the entire community of nations,” Brown said.In his first major speech on the climate, Brown recommitted Britain to limiting the rise in global temperatures to two degrees abov

      The Administrative Imperative: Always Lower the Stakes
      Stanley Fish takes us step by step through what he sees as a number of mistakes made by Lee Bollinger, President of Columbia University, in his ‘greeting’ of Ahmadinejad of Iran. What he says is that the President of a University always has to have the welfare of the University uppermost in his mind, as a good administrator should. And that he should have let the professors, students and other activists take on the duties of debate. What I think happened is Bollinger was pressured by students and staff alike to invite Ahmadinejad to Columbia. However, once the news of that got out alumni and donors of Columbian let Bollinger know, in no uncertain terms, what they thought of it and held his feet to the fire. And indeed, some fire it must have been to get him to ignore what he must have known would be the reaction of staff and students alike to him confronting Ahmadinejad. I can only imagine the pressure and stress that Lee Bollinger went through knowing what would surely happen.In my
