...recommendations have grown. The Greek scene is on the rise, and some have pointed to the new crop of fraternities and sororities as keys to reviving social life. Several websites virtually network students with hopes of connecting them in real life as much as online. Parties held at downtown clubs offer opportunities to outsource socialites into Boston. And this year, the UC offered money as an incentive for students to throw parties...
...creativity haven’t produced substantial change. Only one Greek club owns property, and it has yet to throw a party. Hahvahdparties.com, even with its newly-acquired drawl, has not accomplished what it set out to do: many parties advertised on its website are independently well-publicized. Though downtown club parties have been popular, the trek to Boston can be a nuisance. And while Mahan says more room parties have been thrown since the UC kicked off its party fund this November, not all these parties have succeeded...

He carried a green Hamas banner proclaiming AL-QASSAM BRIGADE WILL TEAR UP EVERY MAP NOT WRITTEN BY THE BLOOD OF MARTYRS. When I asked what he wanted to be when he grows...
...dirty work of Hamas is devised and executed by killers like the man I knew initially as Mohammed. When I met him the first time, on a downtown Gaza City street, the meeting had been arranged to look like a casual encounter as we walked amid the regular Hamas rally after Friday noon prayers. He was worried I might be a spotter for Israeli military hit teams who employ informants, sometimes unwittingly, to lure targets into range. But he felt comfortably anonymous among the noisy, armed Hamas partisans...
