...primary concern for Israeli law enforcement is not as much accidental tragedy as man-made mayhem. In October, Israeli police deported 21 evangelical Christians who had taken up residence on the Mount of Olives - along the path Christ would take into the Old City, according to the prophecy of his Second Coming. Although they were generally regarded as a nonviolent group hoping to be among the first "raptured," Israel deported the believers - whose visas had expired - as "a threat to public order...
...culture more than the Yankees. "The Pride of the Yankees," "The Babe," "Bang the Drum Slowly" and "The Scout" all filled the silver screen with pinstripes, and "Damn Yankees" filled a Broadway marquee. And who is the intangible god, the symbol of ultimate excellence in Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea"? The Great DiMaggio. And what written line better sums up the passing of a generation than Paul Simon's "Where have you gone Joe DiMaggio, a nation turns its lonely eyes to you."? Simon was bemoaning the loss of heroes in America. He didn't foresee...

For financial reasons, the Unversity's art was never showcased, turning much of the House into an impersonal blank canvas (artes interruptus). Nowhere did this seem more of a problem than the dining hall, which was to encapsulate the gallery feel of the House while functioning as the focal...
...Fetishization aside, however, the touch of the "Oriental" does much to help Quincy reconcile its dual roles of private gathering place for House residents and public nexus of interhouse dining. Much of Japanese architecture struggles with combining the world of man and the world of man's environment (nature). Quincy picks up on this idea with the giant floor-to-ceiling windows that run the length of the dining hall: The privacy of the Harvard dining experience is integrated into its constantly visible environment--the University and the city...
