Next commander-in-chief must establish military vision

One of the major issues of this election cycle has been the state of the military. The Republicans decry the use, abuse and neglect of our armed forces by the Clinton administration, while the Democrats argue that nothing is wrong with the military.

Burning local issues and a close race give Princetonians a reason to vote in New Jersey

So you're back on campus and you've noticed they made a few changes while you were away: Your phone number has been changed, you have no idea where to have your mail sent ? and you couldn't get into your mailbox even if you did ? and the U-Store looks like the lovechild of Wal-Mart and Barnes & Noble.

There's no place like home: Students should cast ballots in their home districts, not Princeton

In these first weeks back on campus, I have lied ? often. New classes begin, we suddenly reside with hundreds of strangers, and one of the most frequent questions becomes: "Where are you from?"I lie.

Prague protests won't solve struggling nations' economic woes

I wasn't surprised to read that rock-icon Bono, an Irish nationalist and lead singer of U2, was in Prague during this week's World Bank meetings in that city.After all, the musicians of the last 100 years have created a tradition of social advocacy: Shostakovich hawked revolution, Lennon suggested we give peace a chance, Paul McCartney still lends his name to animal-rights causes, Thom York of Radiohead pushes debt relief for the Third World, John Mellancamp sings on behalf of American farmers and even Bob Dylan eventually got involved in the fight to free boxer Rubin Carter.In light of this legacy, it seems natural enough that Bono might lend support to the few thousand protestors who thought that pillaging a magnificent European capital would earn a moment of notoriety and stop Monsanto from producing genetically engineered 37-pound tomatoes.But Bono wasn't in Prague to spur on the rioting masses.
