...count on it. This is why Harvard’s idiosyncratic calendar is a good thing, and why students will come to miss January finals when they eventually disappear. In addition to making us feel both elitist and victimized (a winning Crimson combo if there ever was one), our hellish Januaries permit our relatively fun Decembers. No one is honestly doing that much school work right now. We are free to soak up the holiday cheer—or at least sleep off that nasty cold.

Everyone knows the hellish aphorism about "good intentions." Even with that in mind, however, few people doubt that President Mahmoud Abbas and Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh are sincerely trying to hammer out a new Palestinian unity government. Even Yuval Diskin, head of Israel's Shin Bet intelligence service, told reporters at a briefing last week that he believes the two men want to make this work.
