...Moreover, the monuments and shrines of the Old City attract visitors from all over the world: Muslims who want to worship at al-Aqsa Mosque; Jews seeking to pray at the Western Wall; Christians keen to visit the Church of the Holy Sepulchre or follow the Stations of the Cross. Try as one might, it is not possible to count out the lanes of the Old City so that each of them is controlled by only one faith, one ethnicity.

...been sitting for over four minutes with only 2 fouls. Cunningham makes 1 of 2, 54-48. ZOMBIES!! On the court!! Oh, woops, it's just the lifeless ballboys who have not smiled all night. But MUSTCHHIOO RETURNSS!! Up and down, that's how it goes. Timeout Holy Cross after McGearny turnover. 11:57 to play, Crimson only down six after being crushed in the first half, down about 15 almost all the way.
