...conspiring with the terrorist group Palestinian Islamic Jihad. It had thousands of hours of taped phone calls, intercepted throughout a dozen years of surveillance; emotionally wrenching testimony from witnesses, including the father of an American girl murdered in Israel by a PIJ suicide bomber; and a jittery public anxious for convictions in the war on terror...
...halted the fifth group of the afternoon midway through its performance. The music for “Traveling Without Moving,” a piece choreographed by Wendy S. Cortez ’07 and S. Monica Soni ’06, stopped unexpectedly, and the dancers froze with anxious expressions on their faces.
