...This last trait has, it seems, even infiltrated student groups with a supposed commitment to charity. Thanks to the lofty claims these organizations parade on posters, purchasers are led to believe that all proceeds from the highly priced tickets are donated. However, with an interpretation of honesty that Bill Clinton would be proud of, there are often no actual profits—and consequently, no donations. To market an event based on the assumption of charity and then fail to give away a cent is the peak of hypocrisy. Equally reprehensible is the tacit acceptance suggested by the administration?...

...briskly to an equally pressing matter: Netanyahu's refusal to back the idea of a Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza. The two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is the keystone of U.S. policy in the Middle East, and Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton are demanding that Netanyahu sign on. Netanyahu has hinted that he does not oppose the creation of a Palestinian state, but aides say he must move cautiously because his religious-nationalist coalition partners refuse to give away land...
