...After Ariel Sharon suffered a massive stroke on Jan. 4, his doctors induced the coma in which the then Israeli Prime Minister has remained, unlikely to recover. According to newspaper reports, Sharon, 78, opened his eyes several times on May 28 while being transferred from a Jerusalem hospital to a long-term-care facility, the Chaim Sheba Medical Center near Tel Aviv. Doctors do not believe that his overall condition has changed, although they are continuing efforts to awaken him. Dr. Zeev Rotstein, Sheba's director, said last week, "We will treat him as best...
...situation continues to deteriorate in Gaza. But President Bush assured Olmert that the U.S. position to maintain the pressure on Hamas remains steady. Taken together with Bush's promises that the U.S. would defend Israel in the event of an Iranian attack, it was a clear sign that while Ariel Sharon, a frequent visitor to the Bush White House, has left Israel's political scene, his legacy has not.

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's first visit to the Bush White House was a sad reminder of just how little has changed in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict over the past six years.

Sharon's exit from Gaza, whereby Israel withdrew to its 1967 border, was a move welcomed throughout the international community. But in the West Bank, Olmert's intention, revealed by the route of the security wall Israel is building, is to fold in huge settlement blocs on land occupied in 1967, bisecting the West Bank...
...only to discover that the town’s head honcho Reverend Moore (Sean P. Bala ’09) has outlawed dancing. McCormack assumes the role of town troublemaker and sets out to bring the moves back to Bomont and romance to the Reverend’s daughter Ariel (Sarah Jayne Blackmore). A production usually has an obvious “star of the show,” a particular performer who just captures the limelight. Not so in “Footloose.” But the lack of a star is not due to a lack...
