...Capitan beckons the bravest of rock climbers, Israel's wall has become the ultimate challenge for members of the global street-art subculture. Banksy, the British guerrilla artist, has already sprayed the wall with a few of his ironic creations (my favorite: a little girl in a pink frock frisking an armed soldier). One artist has written CTRL + ALT + DELETE, as if to reboot decades of Israeli-Palestinian mistrust and bloodshed. Another has drawn a giant pair of scissors cutting a hole in the wall along a dotted line...
Other legal responses have been more creative still. A year after Columbine, Kentucky lawmakers agreed to repeal a law that two years before had given every preacher, priest or minister a special legal right to carry arms to the pulpit, with a handgun in the holster underneath the frock. Still, lawmakers refused to ban pistols completely from the pews.

The wood-paneled chamber resembles the lounge bar of a country house hotel; its green leather benches can accommodate only around two-thirds...
...know, because no man currently attending Harvard is as excellent as Joey Lawrence. What I will say is that the silhouette is the key to wearing florals in a way that does not resemble Meg Ryan or lay-person faculty at a Catholic school. The silhouette of your floral frock must be extremely trendy and well-tailored. It may not, I repeat, have a portrait collar. Hard-edged accessories also work well to dampen the unfettered whimsy of the look. Despite my current love of the revived floral trend, I am still rather down on the entire...
