...Foxy Club For Gentleman (not a strip club). Gluttony abounds in the Quad: a Cabot junior purloined an entire tray of cupcakes from the “Make-Your-Own Cupcake” brainbreak. The House’s Open List erupted, as per usual. The Fly took a gang of punches to the last sushi house in the Boston area that will take the rowdy crew. Just one fellatio joke later, the elderly diners next to the bunch demanded to be moved. Some people have no sense of humor. Sushi is en vogue, it seems—a group...

On Wednesday, kidnappers struck again: an American aid worker, Michael Philips, 24, from Louisiana was kidnapped from Nablus by a new gang calling itself Jaish al-Sunna (the "Sunni Army") which demanded the release of Palestinian women and minors from Israeli prisons. Palestinian security police freed Phillips, but the identity of his captors is still unknown. According to both Israeli and Palestinian police sources, there is no evidence linking the kidnappers with...
