Bright as Hank is, his native rebelliousness lands him into trouble at school. His parents pay him little heed, allowing him to roam free. He quits his Little League team and spends his days riding along the paths of the Gunpowder River. Hank finds himself in situations which are exciting and eminently believable, from baseball games to paintball wars and illicit houseparties. He plays with his stepsiblings Jake and Stephie, and later joins some older men in a paintballing expedition that goes suddenly and frighteningly wrong. Throughout it all, he is forced to deal with the complications and hypocrisies...
...Palestinian officials, for their part, chose to hear mostly the Bush administration's demand that Israel withdraw its forces immediately and its support for U.N. resolutions to that effect. And they refused to heed Washington's entreaties for a cease-fire in the absence of Israeli compliance.

Israel’s military operations, which have unfortunately (yet not purposefully) killed some innocent civilians, operate...
...trouble is on the way. The Nation Group came in for the hardest slam: the transmission of a live interview with a government critic on the company's radio program was abruptly cut off. The Defense Ministry, which owns the radio station, offered a series of unconvincing explanations; taking heed, the Nation Group said it was ending political coverage on its 24-hour cable news channel. The most recent issue of Britain's the Economist was banned because of a special supplement on Thailand. And the government reversed a decision to deport two Bangkok-based correspondents for the Far Eastern...
...could not in good conscience present my case without discussing the one caveat that any novice Pass/Failer must heed: YOU STILL HAVE TO PASS. It’s so tempting to fall into that glorious mindset of gradelessness, but never forget that though a C-, D or even D- won’t hurt, you still need to get something other than the dreaded E. Maybe skim a few of the books. Look over a few problems. It’s a cakewalk, but it’s a walk nevertheless...
