Happy MUNday from Den Haag

This year's THIMUN kicks off this morning at the Novatel World Forum, right across the street from our offices here at the IB  (I'll send pictures later). In any event, three news stories popped up this morning from NPR and the New York Times; one for the Glopo HL1 folks and two for the HL2 folks. HL2, please take the opportunity to play with the interactive predictor from the NYT-its fascinating. Please use your time today and tomorrow to read or listen to the following:
