...magazine. According to Folch, her involvement was limited to attending two meetings in the fall of her first year, and Sakis says he never signed up or attended a meeting at all. Both students requested in the past that their names be removed; Sakis actually threatened to sue for libel if his wasn't. Apparently, the Peninsula people are sensitive enough to external stimuli to heed this kind of threat because Sakis's name is blacked out in magic marker in all distributed copies of the last Peninsula. Folch's name still appears, however, as does that of Christopher...
...want to tear down Aqsa and build the Temple as there are Americans who believe they've flown on UFOS. Secular Jews view the idea of rebuilding the Temple as loony; religious Jews, as sacrilegious. (Only God can rebuild the Temple.) Yet the Palestinian Authority echoed this incendiary libel, calling on Palestinians "to express their anger" over this "aggression on al-Aqsa mosque" and "desecration of the holy places...

Timothy McVeigh was frustrated...
...wedding's off, and the gentle breeze is writing her own gale-force tell-all. Grammer also claims that Cerlette Lamme, whom he gallantly calls "not the neediest woman I've ever been with but needy enough," got high and lost his dog, Goose. Lamme is suing for libel and invasion of privacy. Not one to dwell on past errors, Grammer spent much of last week with CAMILLE DONATACCI, a Club MTV dancer and former soft-core porn actress, who describes herself as "a free-lance associate director for the BBC" and who thinks he's wonderful.
