...with sovereignty over Arab neighborhoods in East Jerusalem and the Temple Mount, while abandoning the so-called right of return—the option for Palestinian refugees to resettle inside Israel. In the West Bank, Israel would retain settlements containing 75 percent of Jewish settlers in exchange for an equal amount of Israeli land for Palestine. Had the controversies over Jerusalem, borders and settlements been addressed in isolation, talks would have quickly stalled. But within a comprehensive framework, both sides were able to avoid a zero-sum gridlock by trading weighty concessions...
...years…Thereafter, as Boomers retire and cash in their entitlement claims, the deficit will explode to 6 percent of GDP by 2020, 12 percent by 2030, and an economy-shattering 21 percent by 2040.” According to the projections, the total national debt will equal total gross domestic product by the late 2020s and quadruple it by 2040.

His acquiescence in the presence of discriminatory military recruiters at Harvard Law School not only violates the principle and policy of nondiscrimination, but is a particular affront to Harvard’s gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered students...
