Even Heimert's supporters admit that getting to know him is no easy task. And just about everyone agrees that his personality and stand on various issues reflect his larger vision Harvard's house life--and the role of the master in protecting...
British diplomats say Bush has written to Arab members of the coalition, pledging not to delay the ground war beyond this month. White House officials strongly deny that, but they readily admit that several Arab coalition partners are pressing the President to begin the land offensive within the next few weeks to bring the war to a relatively speedy end.

And in the first half of the war's third week only four launchings were recorded: three warheads fell on or near the Israeli-occupied West Bank, causing no reported casualties, and another aimed at Riyadh was destroyed by a Patriot missile. But 1,500 sorties have been...
