Members of Greek-letter societies are the heaviest drinkers on college campuses, and experience more alcohol-related problems than their peers. This study reports the results of a web-based survey administered to stratified random samples of college students from 10 North Carolina universities. Greek-letter status was a significant independent risk factor for increased injury (both experienced and caused to others), even after adjusting for drink…
Apocalypse Soon
In the following article, published in the May/June 2005 issue of FOREIGN POLICY, Robert McNamara makes a powerful case for ending the U.S. government's reliance upon nuclear weapons as an instrument of U.S. policy. Pointing to their enormous destructiveness, the likelihood that they will be employed deliberately or accidentally, the immoral and illegal nature of their maintenance and use, and their incitement to proliferation, the former U.S. se…
American Tragedy
It sounds like a cliché, but it is true: democracy, to fulfill its promise as the best of human traditions, requires enlightened leadership. According to David Kaiser, the generation of Americans who came of age in the turbulent 1930s and 1940s felt blessed in that regard. By shepherding the battered national economy out of the Great Depression and leading the Grand Alliance to resounding victory over fascism, the government in Washington had pro…

Reflections on war in the twenty-first century
The twentieth century has been by far the bloodiest in human history, with 160 million people perishing in every conceivable type of conflict, from the two 'wars to end all wars' to the ongoing disputes in the former Yugoslavia. Mercifully, we have so far managed to avoid the global disaster that would unquestionably result from the military use of nuclear weapons, although it has only recently emerged how narrowly this possibility was averted du…
