Tea Party victory, global defeat
CANBERRA -- You wouldn't expect much interest beyond the United States, or even beyond his own state, when an 80-year-old conservative legislator, who has already served six terms, loses his party's endorsement to run yet again.

The Nixon option for Iran?
WASHINGTON, DC -- Rearranging the deck chairs would not have saved the Titanic. Nor did the endless debates on the shape of the table in the Vietnam negotiations advance the effort to end that malign conflict.

Living languages and the politicization of Kurdish by Engin Gülbey*
 It had been only four years since the transition to the Latin alphabet in Turkey. It was a state of mobilization and transition; the people were unable to adapt to the new alphabet and former scholars were trying to learn Latin letters as though they were new students.
