...seem funny.THC: You both went to Yale. And now you’re at Harvard. Any comments?DD: I was a graduate student also, so Leo escaped from jail sooner than I did! You know it’s a great treat to be here with my brother. We’ve been separated by hundreds of miles for so many years it’s very nice to be at the same place. It is different I think in that the humanities have a more dominant role at Yale than here, so here you are dealing with a broader...
...with the interfraternity council's web address. But Pete Smithhisler, who is president and CEO of North-American Interfraternity Conference, says nearly every Greek organization in the nation now has an online presence. And these groups are using as many technological outlets as possible to improve the bonds of brother- and sisterhood.

He has said the only time significant progress was made was when U.S. officials negotiated directly with their North Korean counterparts - a point a senior South Korean diplomat involved in the talks confirms.

...insisted that they won't accept conditions for having the embargo lifted. Still, Fidel Castro wrote in an op-ed for Cuba's state-controlled media last week that Havana wants to negotiate "mutually advantageous" agreements with the U.S.; he even asked Lee's delegation what he and his brother could do to help Obama's efforts to improve U.S.-Cuba relations. If the U.S. were to drop the Cuba travel ban, it would almost certainly shift hemispheric attention to what Cuba would then do to reciprocate, such as releasing imprisoned dissidents or permitting more free enterprise. Should the Castros...
