...Bosnian Muslims [WORLD, Jan. 15] increase the likelihood that war will resume once NATO troops depart. The nominally federated Muslims and Croats of Bosnia may be tempted to resolve their seemingly irreconcilable differences at the expense of the Bosnian Serbs. The spoils from a joint military campaign to expel the Bosnian Serb nation would be allocated mainly to a Muslim entity, which would then accept its lot as a satellite of Greater Croatia. There is a precedent for what amounts to "benign ethnic cleansing." Croatia, with Washington's blessing, invaded the U.N.-protected Krajina region in August last year...
Biology also influenced geochemistry, says Indiana University biochemist John Hayes. In fact, in a paper published in Nature earlier this year, Hayes and his colleagues argue that guts, those simple conduits that take food in at one end and expel wastes at the other, may be the key to the Cambrian explosion. Their reasoning goes something like this: animals grazed on the algae, packaging the leftover organic material into fecal pellets. These pellets dropped to the ocean depths, depriving oxygen-depleting bacteria of their principal food source. The evidence? Organic lipids in ancient rocks, notes Hayes, underwent a striking change...
...through the insults and be inured to ostracism (a cadet who shook her hand last year was ridiculed mercilessly). She was isolated on campus, guarded by federal marshals after she received death threats. The administration was openly hostile, due back in court on Nov. 6 in another effort to expel her.

...harassment and at worst mind-control. We believe the College has a strong interest in not allowing the Church, or a group representing its interests, to use Harvard's name and facilities to solicit Harvard students....It is not religious bias that has brought administrators at Boston University to expel it from campus and those at MIT to suspend its activities....The group cannot be autonomous and its parent group refuses to respect Harvard's ban on proselytism....We support Dean Epps' opposition to the group and hope Dean Jewett will deny the group recognition...
...second week of the trial, one of Rahman's co-defendants unexpectedly changed his plea to guilty and claimed that the sheik had offered the approval of Islamic law for the terror campaign. If the Administration's bill had been in place, it might have made it easier to expel Rahman and his associates. As for the Oklahoma bombing, if it was indeed entirely the work of Americans, Washington's new weapon against terrorism may be pointed in the wrong direction...
