...Sadat’s unexpected trip produced a wave of euphoria across Israel. Israeli diplomats scrambled to find Egyptian flags, a band that could play the Egyptian national anthem, and a way to show Sadat the Holy Land they had fought over. Israelis—Holocaust survivors, soldiers who had fought Egyptians only four years earlier, and a younger generation alike—welcomed Sadat with open arms. The Israeli daily Maariv printed a red banner headline in Arabic and Hebrew reading, “Welcome President Sadat.” Egyptian songs were played on the radio and Israelis...
...explained recently in the pages of TIME why the farm bill was bad agricultural, fiscal and environmental policy; bad water, energy, land and health policy; and bad foreign policy to boot.

Like at Harvard, these then disappear and are forgotten...
...quarterback with a completion percentage just over 50 percent and more picks (five) than touchdowns (four) this year.What will Polhemus see when he scans the defensive backfield looking for an open receiver? He’ll see the best crop of defensive backs in all the Ivy-lined land. Three of the four men who patrol the passing lanes have registered multi-interception games this year (one is third in the nation in picks per game), and the other is the only defensive Preseason All-American in the entire league.It almost seems like a waste—all that talent...
