...Decisions such as which posters to buy at the Coop, whether or not to get a TV, and whether bed risers are a delightful use of space (or just a drunken fort waiting to happen), are all serious questions that every undergrad has to grapple with at some point. Hitler posters and shrines to Barbra Streisand are usually good indicators of latent wacko tendencies (and bad b.o.), but extreme cases aside, how much does your room really say about you? In order to answer this question, FM grabbed two strangers and tested each on the other based solely on their...
...area where he actually does have some authority: reforming the sluggish oligopoly that is the Iranian domestic economy. There have been riots over the rising price of gasoline. His political future is shaky.

Compensation for the property claims of Palestinians who left during that conflict is still on the negotiating table—though Matory ignores the property of Jews who were expelled from Arab countries during...
EHUD OLMERT, Israeli Prime Minister, after the arrest of eight young neo-Nazis for attacking Jews and foreign workers and announcing their allegiance to Adolf Hitler in recently surfaced videos. The offenders, who each have only distant Jewish heritage, immigrated to the Jewish state from the former Soviet Union in the early 1990s...
