On Monday, a 7.5 magnitude earthquake hit remote areas of northern Afghanistan and Pakistan, killing 364 and injuring over 2,000 more. With a mounting death toll, officials are attempting to understand the extent of the devastation and find out how to reach to the most affected and often least inaccessible regions. In 2012, Afghanistan and Pakistan were among the top recipients of U.S. foreign aid — receiving $14.02 billion — and the top recipients in Central Asia, according to TIME magazine. How should humanitarian aid in Afghanistan and Pakistan be appropriated properly in response to disaster, and do you believe that foreign aid has been successfully used in the region?

In October of 1986, the New York Mets defeated the Boston Red Sox in Game 7 of the World Series, bringing the club its second championship in history. To Mets fans, the 29 years that have followed likely feel like centuries. The team has not won a Major League Baseball championship since then, stuck in a decades-long drought that has featured mid-season collapses, disappointing play on the field and heartbreak in 2000 when the Mets fell to the rival New York Yankees in the “Subway Series.” Though some Mets fans may have grown accustomed to heartbreak and mediocrity, it appears they once again have a reason for hope.

To Prof. David Hackett Fischer (HIST), “history is not only about the past: it’s about memories of the past, it’s about experiences of the present, and it’s about anticipation of the future,” Fischer said in an interview with the Justice. In describing his childhood, Fischer recalls growing up in the midst of great historical events like the Great Depression, World War II and the Cold War. Yet to Fischer — and no doubt to many others — these events were also family events. “War was very much a part of my own experience,” Fischer said.
