...Washington is silent about the systematic repression of women and minorities permitted in the name of religion in the Kingdom. If any Arab leader today deserves to be called a democrat, it's Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora, a humble economist by training who bravely continues to hoist the banner of the 2005 Cedar Revolution against domestic as well as foreign opponents.

Penn has its own answer to the rabid fan base of New Haven’s John J. Lee Amphitheater, and its students will be out in force at the Palestra Friday night to help the Quakers avenge their only loss of the Ivy slate and again hoist the league banner.
