Perhaps it is too late, but for the next unfortunate act of intolerance on campus, the administration should work harder at catching criminals and removing them from our community...
...past three months, Washington--mostly in the persons of Ross and National Security Adviser Sandy Berger--has been acting as a secret go-between for Barak and Assad, working to restart the Golan Heights talks, which broke off four months after the 1995 assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin.
