Katherine McGaffigan ’02-’03 testified for three days this week as the prosecution’s star witness in the high-profile case against Erica Chase and Leo V. Felton, who allegedly planned to bomb Jewish and black targets—including the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C. and the Rev. Al Sharpton—as part of a plot to instigate a “racial holy...
...diplomats met in New York, but nobody's expecting any real work to be accomplished this summer. As it is, the Bush administration is increasingly absorbed by the economy and corporate scandals at home, and the Iraq campaign abroad.

We spent time learning what good...
...says it favors repeal of Germany's strong law against wrongful dismissal, a proposal that even Stoiber, the conservative premier of Bavaria, is against. Complicating the FDP's outlook is an embarrassing controversy over anti-Semitism. J?rgen Möllemann, the party's deputy national leader, warned that prominent Jewish opposition to criticism of Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon might be "liable to awaken anti-Semitic resentments." The comment caused an uproar because it seemed to repeat an old slur that Jews bring anti-Semitism on themselves. Möllemann later apologized to Jewish leaders, but the controversy continues...
