...Despite President Bush's avowed goal of spreading democracy in the Middle East, Gaddafi's hold on power may be stronger than it was two decades ago, when President Reagan denounced him as a "mad dog" who threatened global security with a "reign of terror." In 1986, in response to a terrorist bombing in Berlin that killed two American servicemen, U.S. aircraft bombed targets, including Gaddafi's home, in what amounted to an aerial assassination attempt...
...wasn't too long ago when Gaddafi, not Saddam Hussein or Osama bin Laden, was the enemy Washington loved to hate. The U.S. bombed Tripoli 20 years ago last month, in what amounted to an aerial assassination attempt on Gaddafi himself after President Reagan dubbed Gaddafi the "mad dog" of the Middle East.

Rugani ’07, and Masha O. Godina ’08) deliver their lines with flawless timing—and the exchanges between Alice and the Red and White Queens, played to perfection...
...because they played high school football or because their middle school was built on a toxic dump. Goodbye and good riddance to girls who wouldn’t hook up with us. (Incidentally, if you run into us in the future when we’re looking mad handsome and cool, follow J-Zone’s advice and “Don’t holler.”)But it’s goodbye to the good times, too. Four years after a pair of red folders and a boatload of desperation first brought us together, we have...
