How to strangle an economy
REPRESENTATIVE Paul Kujawski of Webster says his proposal to tax the endowments of the state's wealthiest universities and colleges was intended in part to "gain a lot of attention from the institutions." In that regard, the proposal has been a success. But only in that regard. (Boston Globe)
To protect or neglect in Burma
FRANCE'S foreign minister, Bernard Kouchner, called Wednesday for the United Nations to act on its "responsibility to protect" by delivering aid to the people of Burma - even if the ruling junta continues withholding visas for aid workers.

AID TO BURMA "The cyclone could be a paradigm-changing event for Myanmar, one of the world's most closed and repressive regimes, as the ruling junta has apparently decided to accept international assistance. On the other hand, [an] Al-Jazeera report notes that the junta has not given the green light to nongovernmental organizations, and that it plans to go ahead with ... (Boston Globe)
