...condition for lifting that blockade has been for the new government to accept conditions put forth by the Quartet - Russia, the E.U., the U.N., and the U.S. - which demanded that it recognize the State of Israel, renounce violence, and honor all past agreements. But the new government's platform fudges these questions.

It pledges to "respect" past agreements and also the Saudi peace initiative adopted by the Arab League...
...Harvard baseball team began its 2007 season on Saturday, splitting four games in three days. The Crimson (2-2) took on opponents Tampa, Notre Dame, Duquesne, and Quinnipiac. Harvard fell to the Spartans (21-4) 11-5 yesterday at Tampa, Fla., in a back-and-forth game in which Tampa pulled away with five runs in the seventh and eight innings to take a six-run lead and put the game out of reach for the Crimson.

However, the Violets stayed strong with a solid hitting percentage...

On “Neon Bible,” the group explores the very visceral issue of fear; an issue made topical not only because of the world’s current bleakness, but also because of the fear associated with making a sophomore album...
...elbows in dead soldiers without an exit strategy. “Containment” is both a forceful critique of current foreign policy and a prescriptive response to it. Shapiro, a Yale political science professor, argues in favor of renewing the policies of containment first put forth by George Kennan in his historic “Long Telegram”—though as that might lead you to expect, the book often gets wallowed down in the past.
