...John T. Bethell ’54.In addition to demonstrations like the one in Sanders, students organized a class-time walkout protest, held rallies on the steps of Memorial Church, and even led a “peace march” concluding at Conant’s doorstep. A 1939 Crimson editorial referred to youth leaders and academic presidents like Conant as people on a hawkish path that is “a super-highway straight to Armageddon,” as quoted in Bethell’s book. And a 1939 poll reported in The Crimson reported that...
...fusion restaurant and bar lies just off Nussdorferstrasse, one of the most conspicuous pockets of gentrification along the belt. There, the city's chattering classes nibble on sushi in a chic interior fashioned from concrete and laminated beechwood.

And this movement is being joined by families of soldiers killed in the brawl with Hizballah. All that has sent Olmert's political stock plummeting. At the start of the Lebanon...
...There have been other warning signs, of course. But until that day at the beauty salon, I had ignored any hint of a return to 7th-century mores, preferring to savor a few extra weeks of denial before the government-issued burqa arrived at my doorstep. A month ago I met a few girlfriends for coffee at a caf? popular with young people. Upon lighting a cigarette, one of them was informed by the embarrassed owner that smoking is now illegal for women in caf?s. Now half the women I know don't go out for coffee anymore. An ingenious...
