...peace broker. Just two days after Aqaba, Hamas, one of the most militant terrorist groups operating in the Palestinian territories, scuttled a meeting with Abbas to discuss a cease-fire. And if Bush sides with Sharon, the stature the President has only just secured with the Arabs will disappear. "The summit was fine and dandy," says a senior Arab diplomat who participated in the sessions. "But there will be a snag. If Bush steps in and clears it up, everyone will fall into line behind him.

...don’t think we expected it, but in the ’60s, seeing schools like Pembroke and the Sargent School of Education at Tufts disappear, we perhaps should have. Many of these schools either merged with their affiliates or disappeared. It was a scene of us not really looking down the road, then of not being totally bent out of shape about it when it happened.
