In a country that prizes simple virtues, he dresses a little too well, speaks a little too glibly. It was no surprise then that a large part of the military brass saw Peres' response to Hamas as insufficient. Peres' initial rejection of the army's proposal to deport families of the suicide bombers to Lebanon caused frustration. "We think that in the future these guys will think twice if they know that after they're gone, we're going to put their...

A traditional women's school that features Apple Day and genteel residence halls with brass chandeliers, carpeting, cable TV and microwaves, Baldwin offers two hours of rotc a week for freshmen, but none of the character-building deprivation or bonding possibilities of barracks life. There is also no Bachelor of Science degree or alumni network similar to VMI's, which has always been touted as the key to cracking the Virginia establishment. Last week VMI put itself...
