...There was one rough patch disrupting Harvard’s day of smooth sailing, however. In the 1000-yard freestyle event, two of the Crimson’s top swimmers were disqualified for ending in the wrong lane. Meyer and senior Eric Lynch, who posted times good enough to claim the top-two spots in the event, were eliminated from scoring for this blunder.“That’s kind of a rookie mistake and slightly embarrassing,” Meyer said. “I just looked up the heat sheet and I was going to tell...
...that rival any cult star's. Two of the best closed up over the holidays. Depression Modern, 29, was a mecca for collectors of Deco furniture and artifacts; each Saturday morning, dozens of the faithful would gather outside Michael Smith's Lower Manhattan store, ready to rush in and claim his latest treasures. (I could name two TIME movie critics, one in New York, one in L.A., whose homes are little museums of Depression Modern pieces.)

That surely emboldened Hamas, which intermittently sent rockets into southern Israel and finally prompted Israel to respond in force. As respected Israeli columnist Nahum Barnea wrote in the Hebrew daily Yedioth Ahronoth, "A country that is afraid to deal with Hamas won't be able either...
...have kept one eye open on its northern border. "What is unexpected is why it took so long for rockets to be fired," says Goksel, voicing the view of analysts who had expected just such an incident since the onset of Israel's offensive against Hamas. There was no claim of responsibility for the attack, although suspicion has fallen on militant Palestinian groups such as the Damascus-based Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command (PFLP-GC), which may have acted with a nudge and a wink from Hizballah. Hizballah, Hamas and other Palestinian groups denied responsibility. "When...
