Like many other literalists, al-Zarqawi favors one of the Koran's more complex chapters, known as "The Cave." It includes some metaphysical stories whose meaning has been debated by theologians for centuries. The Prophet is said to have advised his followers to read the "The Cave" before Friday prayers, and "some people mistakenly take this to mean that this surah was the Prophet's favorite," says Khaled Abou al-Fadl, an Islamic jurist at UCLA. Bakr says al-Zarqawi frequently quotes extensively from "The Cave" and encourages discussion about its stories...
...replica of a four hundred-year-old building,” Christopher M. Gordon, the chief operating officer of Harvard’s Allston Development Group, told members of the Harvard-Allston Task Force last night. Preliminary sketches of the 500,000 square foot science complex that will set the tone for the rest of Allston depict modern glass buildings connected by aerial walkways. Pathways crossing grassy knolls, indoor gardens, and spacious atriums complemented the drawings of the outdoor facades. “I am not a traditionalist, I can tell you that right away,” said Stefan...
Luckily for you, with my advice you’ll soon turn your nights of playing Xbox by yourself into nights of playing Xbox with a complaining girl at your side.

...monitoring system picked up evidence of a Russian thermonuclear explosion that, if the educated guessers are right, was from a device far less complex, far more economical and far more "transportable" than Ivy's. Then, last month, came the U.S. explosion that Strauss described as being twice the estimated size. It became famous prematurely because an unexpected wind shift showered a Japanese fishing boat with radioactive ash. But the March 1 explosion (and the one that followed on March 26) had even more serious implications: in the global game of the scientists, where scores are read in terms...
