...column of May 4, 1998, Aamir Abdul Rehman correctly concludes that framing the Israeli-Palestinian struggle in nationalist terms will produce no results. Both the assumptions and goals of any two nationalist philosophies inherently contradict each other; hence any discussion of international relations must be framed in an internationally accepted framework, possibly a moral...
This in itself does not contradict the radiocarbon-dating results, but other aspects of Wilson's research do, most notably a chronology that appears to track the shroud back long before 1260. Wilson finds several European references to what appears to be the shroud in the early 1200s. But more important, he seems, through historical detective work, to have connected it to something called the Edessa Cloth.

The result is a thicket of rulings. Since 1991, juries have returned well over 500 verdicts on sexual harassment--decisions that often contradict one another and send mixed signals about how we should behave anytime we meet a co-worker we'd like to see after five...

Why did Willey continue to write Clinton and his personal assistant, Nancy Hernreich, in what sources describe as a ?consistently friendly and admiring manner? after he had supposedly assaulted her?

...first time, Monica Lewinsky's attorney has admitted his client was alone in the Oval Office with President Clinton a number of times. Of course, being alone doesn't mean any "salacious event" occurred, according to William Ginsburg. But it may contradict Clinton's alleged sworn testimony in the Paula Jones case that he and Lewinsky were never alone. If the former intern is prepared to repeat this whenever she gets in front of the grand jury, immunity or no immunity, Ken Starr will be a happy...
