...former naval officer, says, "It's got all the Zen you could want." Trying to hit a bullseye smaller than a saucer from a distance of 100 m or more-and do it over and over again-demands things of you, and gives things to you. You have to align yourself not just with the gun and the target but with your surroundings: light must be taken into account (people tend to aim lower in dim light), temperature (on a hot day the bullet flies faster and higher), and wind.

...According to organizers, around 7,000 people gathered at the Yard to enjoy Ben Folds’ student-friendly performance, as well as a variety of games. Indeed, Yardfest was a job well done by the Dean’s Office and the Harvard Concert Commission.

While before we may have had fewer deeper friendships—those select few enabled by sheer force of will to last over great distances—now we have many weaker ones: people we talk to once in a blue moon when our schedules align (who hasn’t gone through their buddy list at 3 a.m. while putting off a paper?) but otherwise go months without contacting...
...Olmert will likely align Kadima with Labor (which won 20 seats) and either the Shas party of the Orthodox Sephardic Jews (12 seats) or the right-wing Yisrael Beiteinu (11 seats), a voice for the country's 900,000 Russian immigrants. Several of the smaller fringe parties, such as the Pensioners' Party, may also join the coalition. All these groupings have their own agendas. Labor, for example, says it wants a negotiated peace with the Palestinians. Labor leader Amir Peretz said he is in favor of dismantling Jewish settlements in the West Bank. But this will cause pain among those...
