Australia's most senior Islamic cleric, Sheik Taj Al-Din Hilali, was justly slapped down by the community after he described women who did not wear the hijab (headdress) as "uncovered meat." In a Ramadan sermon in September, the mufti also told his flock that women, by the way they dress and act, were to blame for sexual assault. When the comments were reported in late October by the Australian newspaper, the nation's leaders condemned Hilali. After he apologized, claiming his words were taken out of context, Hilali fell into the arms of his physicians. He rode...

At the time, Rumsfeld was the Administration's swaggering alpha male, a global celebrity whom even Bush called a "matinee idol"; Rice was the overwhelmed National Security Adviser, struggling to make herself heard above the din of colliding war-cabinet egos. "I know you won't talk to Condi," Bush told Rumsfeld, according to Bob Woodward's book State of Denial. "But you've got to talk...
...about it. For all the pro-Women’s Center drum-banging about dialogue and awareness-raising, so far the net result of this victory amounts to little more than an expensive pile of free food and xeroxed paper—including song sheets for The (exclusively male) Din and Tonics, no less! Attendance at the Radcliffe Union of Students’ weekly meetings is already down from around 15 near the start of term to as few as four people nowadays...
