...they were offered a two-state compromise. “Had the Palestinian leadership accepted the two-state solution of 1938, they would have a very large Palestinian land on what is today probably 70 percent of Israel,” Dershowitz said. “And a million Jews would have been saved from the Holocaust.” Dershowitz said Arab states’ rejection of the resolution has hindered the creation of a Palestinian state.

My second plan, however, seemed promising. While I don't know anything about football, I do, as a Jew with pushy parents, know an awful lot about the importance of a good college education. So I asked Manteris to post this proposition bet: Will the first person to score a touchdown have attended one of the Top 100 schools in the 2008 U.S. News & World Report rankings? Manteris thought...
