    Dictators must be held accountable

    Two men whose brutal dictatorships ended in the 1980s are in the news because courts in the countries they once ruled are considering whether to bring them to trial for their crimes while they held power. This continues an important trend of the past two decades in which more than 60 heads of government have been prosecuted by international and national courts, either for corruption or human rights abuses, or for a combination of these crimes.

  • MITT ROMNEY

    Mitt Romney and the power of losing

    Mitt Romney’s recent losses to Rick Santorum in Colorado, Missouri and Minnesota revealed a truism that Romney might want to study — but not too much!

  • BIRTH CONTROL

    It’s 2012, and we’re still arguing about birth control

    Oh, dear, what is that baying? It sounds like the religious right has let slip the dogs of culture war.

  • CASINOS VS. HIGH TECH

  • STAND YOUR GROUND

    What we lose when we ‘stand our ground’

    On March 18, 2010, Quentin Rashad Wyche and Kendall Berry, two FIU football players, argued about a girl. Boys arguing about girls may be a universal feature of university life, but this argument ended tragically when Wyche stabbed Berry in the heart with a pair of scissors.

  • IMMIGRATION

    Republicans knocking on immigration’s door

    Historically, when economic times are tough the topic of illegal immigration gains prominence in the nation’s political discourse. This election is no different. Immigration has become a cornerstone in all of the candidates’ stump speeches and a mainstay issue in the GOP primary debates. Unfortunately, too often the contributions of Hispanic-Americans get lost in the xenophobic vitriol over illegal immigration.
