Both the men's and women's teams host Dartmouth at the Murr Center tonight. The Crimson will then face the biggest hurdle of its season this weekend when it battles arch-enemy Trinity Saturday afternoon at home...
...Prime Minister Ehud Barak's statement Thursday that a peace agreement was unlikely before Israelis go to the polls on February 6 was a masterful understatement. Right now, opinion polls show that whether or not Barak cuts a new deal, he'll be comfortably beaten by arch-hawk Ariel Sharon on election day - and that would reduce any new deal to no more than a chronicle of what might have been. Because while Barak has thus far failed to tempt Arafat to accept 95 percent of the West Bank and all of Gaza, as well as a patchwork of Jerusalem...
...Bollings Air Force base in Washington must feel like an insulated bubble to the diplomats dispatched by both sides to search for a deal.

Israeli voters tend to vote against rather than for candidates, and the numbers supporting supreme dove Peres may be an expression of unhappiness over Barak's performance in the peace process. But given a stark choice between Sharon, an arch-hawk nicknamed "The Bulldozer," and Barak, skeptical doves will probably follow Meretz's lead and back the prime minister. Despite Sharon's substantial lead in the polls, the election remains too close to call: Many of the smaller parties have no direct stake in an election exclusively for the post...
