...experts on key topics, it has the potential to leave tremendous voids in which Harvard has few experts. The best example of this is that the philosophy department has no professors of continental philosophy.

Those who wear the hijab believe that in doing so, they literally wear modesty, humility, and purity on their sleeves.

With Democrats pushing the Bush Administration to engage with Syria and Iran over the turmoil in Iraq, Hizballah may gain from the newfound stature of its patrons, according to Khashan. Still, that effect remains to be seen. "This is the Middle East," said Khashan. "You always have new uncontrolled variables that transform the situation at the last minute." One thing is for certain: now more than ever, Lebanon doesn't have time on its side...
