Triplets and Gingers and Kuwaitis With Nukes, Oh My!

A few links:
  • Claremont McKenna is giving an honorary degree to Sheikh Dr. Mohammed Sabah Al-Salem Al-Sabah (try saying that ten times fast!). Unfortunately, he will not be taking questions from the audience. But if he were, it might be worthwhile to ask him why his country is trying to develop nuclear power with the French. Aren't the Kuwaitis swimming in oil? Likely, it's to counter a nuclear Iran, which our government seems to have all but accepted.


Drugs and CMC

I wonder: If California's electorate passes the ballot initiative legalize marijuana in the state, how will that affect life on campus? Will it be treated just as it is with alcohol?


I'm for drug legalization across the board, but even I wonder if it is such a good idea to legalize it for the purposes of taxation. Why not just legalize it?
