...military operation in Lebanon is intended to flush out the group's fighters, including Saudis, Syrians, Tunisians, Yemenis, Moroccans as well as Palestinians. Yet the bombardment of a Palestinian refugee camp risks broadening the conflict to include other mainstream Palestinian factions such as the original Fatah group, whose Lebanon representative Sultan Abul Ainain warned "there will be uprisings in all the camps in Lebanon" if the army's indiscriminate shelling of the camp at Nahr al-Bared did not cease. Such a confrontation risks pulling in Hizballah, which, although a Shi'ite group, is closely allied with Sunni Palestinian factions...
...Lehman: almost nothing. Good has been hired by a midwestern bank to find $40 million "missing" from a $110 million telecommunications company in receivership. But the oceans of capital at private-equity funds mean that companies once left for near dead, like Barry, have more options. In this flush economy, Von Lehman says, "hedge funds just lend these troubled companies money, but they don't fix them.

Another reader, “Jim from Lowell House,” sent me a request to write about the urinal in the Science Center bathroom that makes a real funny sound when you flush it. Jim, I can’t explain to you how relieved I am to find out that there is someone at Harvard other than me who also appreciates the hilarity of that particular urinal. But let’s be realistic here—my columns need to be around...
...also picked up much of the political operation of Jeb Bush, who is the could-have-been candidate most longed for on the right. Money doesn't seem to be a problem either; Romney raised $6.5 million on a single National Call Day in early January. The campaign is flush enough to be on the air at this early date with ads to introduce Romney to voters as a "business legend" who "rescued the Olympics" and "turned around a Democratic state." The Mormon in the race also points out - jokingly, but with an edge - that he is the only leading...
