...Tadrous '97 and Mohamad M. Al-Ississ '00 claim that "the on-going violence in Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza was directly provoked by the Israeli opening of a tunnel which borders the foundations of [Al-Aksa]" Mosque. What the Palestinians claim to be in such a huff and a puff about is an innocuous, inconspicuous and wholly inoffensive tunnel. Last July, I had the privilege of visiting the not-yet fully excavated site. It was more a matter of principle than of inconvenience when our tour group was prematurely made to turn around halfway along the route...
...really saddens us to see the Undergraduate Council huff and puff and blow its own house down. Ignored by practically every student with something better to do than fill out "Hello Day" slips, the council's recent foray into cheerleading--its so-called "Spirit Week"--was decidedly spirit-less. Is this where the council's vigorously-promised and much-touted issue of "relevance" has brought...
...aides have clashed from the outset. When Wilson named Fuller his campaign chairman in June, Gorton, who has a penchant for Far East spirituality, went off to Thailand in a huff. But he returned to do battle. Soon Fuller found himself up against Gorton's vision: to squeeze Wilson's name onto the Dole-controlled ballot in the high-visibility New York primary, even at the price of $750,000 in signature gathering plus legal costs.

Nonsmokers are in a huff. "That's what passes for wit among some Republicans," said Phil Schiliro, an aide to Waxman, referring to the placement of his boss's picture under the ashtray. "That epitomizes their philosophy: 'Those Democrats didn't know anything, and if they're against smoking we'll be for it and blow smoke in their faces.' " Senator Frank Lautenberg, who once successfully pushed to ban smoking in all facilities that receive federal funds and that serve children, now has to make his way to his Capitol Hill office past small groups of Republican aides lighting...
Senator Bob Dole's recent attacks on hip-hop music and violent films are as ugly and transparent as some of the so-called gangsta rappers he wants to huff and puff and blow away. Like those of the worst rappers, Dole's views sound tinny and half-desperate. Like the lamest films, Dole goes for the spectacular (guns, violence, melodrama) rather than the substantive (love, sex, race, class). The main thing Dole, weak rappers and weak movies share is an ultimate goal: money. Staten Island hip-hoppers Wu-Tang Clan said it best with their 1994 hit single, C.R.E.A.M...
