...Sections "Ections" and the colloquially-named Marty Feldstein articles, "Marticles." (Luckily, he was amused.) My 1997 Datamatch results. (I had been hopeful--my parents met through it without even attending Harvard--but destiny awaited me elsewhere.) A quote from a student in a class I shopped that made it clear I couldn't take the course: "In this scene, Blanche Dubois is the Uberfemme.

...second time when it's only for Barak," says Beyer. "But Netanyahu's core constituencies, such as ultra-orthodox Jews, are highly motivated. And a runoff would have also given Bibi two more weeks to come up with some gimmick to turn the tide." Barak may have a clear shot, but with Israel's ethnic and political divisions as fierce as ever, nobody's predicting a landslide.
