...INSTITUTE When Faust became the first dean of Radcliffe in 2001, the institute looked quite different from the way it does today. It had stopped issuing undergraduate diplomas separately from Harvard more than three decades earlier. Its graduate school had shut down in 1963. And Radcliffe College ceased to exist as an independent entity in 1999. Linda K. Kerber, who was a fellow at the Institute in the spring of 2003 and teaches history at the University of Iowa, describes the challenge Faust faced upon arrival. “What Drew embraced was an institution which had served...
...bought into the naive belief that if only Israel would remove all settlements in the West Bank, peace would ensue. The Gaza experience forever debunked that myth. Peace will come only when the Palestinians acknowledge Israel's right to exist...

Until now, Hamas has refused calls by Fatah and the international community to recognize Israel's right to exist. Going into the Mecca meeting, Hamas appeared to be showing flexibility.

Saudi backing for a Palestinian "unity" government, especially one that is ready to deal with Israel, would help sell the accord to other Arab countries...
