Perhaps the HPT team should have had the foresight to add a large bear perched on an onion dome and holding a sign "THIS IS RUSSIA" to drive the point home to its less-enlightened viewers. Moreover, the link The Crimson draws between "middle-eastern" and "terrorists" is--in the absence of bombs, violence or anything other than innocent dancing--nothing short of racist...
Sharon's showy tour of the Haram al-Sharif, or Temple Mount, one of Islam's holiest places, home of the al-Aqsa mosque and the Dome of the Rock, is what sparked off the intifadeh.

Flanked by lesser television personalities and second-tier celebrities, Beat Takeshi presides on TV Tackle as the highest of Japanese pop culture royalty, an imperious entertainer whose every twitch and tick and grunt and sniffle elicit commentary...
...problems of STEVEN SPIELBERG. The director's Brentwood, Calif., neighbors have organized against him because of a planned addition to his 2,400-sq.-ft. home. Prosaic enough, except that the proposed addition is a five-story, 27,000-sq.-ft. riding-ring-and-stable complex with a retractable dome for horse-loving wife KATE CAPSHAW, estimated to cost $7 million. "It's just astounding and obnoxious," claimed an attorney for nearby homeowners. Both sides will argue the case at a zoning hearing Jan. 4. As if that weren't trouble enough, Spielberg found...
