...accusations and their rebuttals do not capture the lessons of the battle. In Jenin the Israelis sent a message: there is no quarter, no haven, for those who send out human bombers to blow themselves and Israelis apart in restaurants and cafes. And the Palestinians sent their message in return: they can kill Israelis in Palestinian towns just as well as in Tel Aviv. Under the slabs of fallen masonry in Jenin is a new legend of martyrdom and heroism, one that will be used in years to come to stiffen the sinews of those who would fight against Israeli...

No one knew whether he had died of shock or bled to death, but the pool of blood around his body suggested...
Sophomore Trey Hendricks and senior Chaney Sheffield helped soften that blow with nice outings yesterday. But Hendricks—Harvard’s third different No. 4 starter this year—will probably not figure into Harvard’s postseason pitching plans and Sheffield, one of Harvard’s surprisingly consistent performers, tired after five innings yesterday. He has now thrown more innings this year than he has in any previous season in his career. He’s also the only weekend starter who plays the field on games he doesn’t pitch...
