...multi-pronged attack, more reminiscent of al-Qaeda raids on U.S. compounds in Riyadh than the usual haphazard Taliban bombings, heralds not only new tactics, but new targets. Until now the insurgency in Afghanistan has focused its attacks on foreign military convoys, diplomatic enclaves, government installations and Afghan security forces. No longer...
...Jean-Paul Sartre, with whom she founded the existentialist school of thought. The two became an odd and inseparable pair, loving each other with an explicit allowance for outside dalliances. Under that agreement, she fell passionately in love, twice, and had a lifelong affair with crying and alcohol. A haphazard dresser and global traveler, Beauvoir also had no reservations about fictionalizing her liaisons with female philosophy students, whom she passed on to Sartre. We would be mistaken, however, to reduce her eccentricities to a life of temerity and scandal. Beauvoir inspired millions of women through conferences on her magnum opus...
...contemporaries and rivals in the late 1980s and early 1990s were the heavyweights of the figure skating world: Olympic medalist Paul Wylie, world champion Todd Eldredge, and national medalist Mark Mitchell.

In the spirit of cultivating curious, focused minds, Harvard should trust its students to make their own informed, reasoned choices from among its 4,000-plus courses...
Buildings that were once thriving now look decrepit and dilapidated. An Internet café is now an empty shell of a concrete structure. Some restaurants have been hit four or five times in car bomb attacks. Wires and cables are strewn like drunken, haphazard spider webs from building to building and street to street. I saw the hotel room I lived in for six weeks in 2004. Not because the desk manager let me in - the place is now shuttered and boarded up - but because the windows are blown out. Banks, mosques, and hospitals, in addition to whole neighborhoods and private...
