...they had greater control over their own part of the city. At the same time, nobody wants to see barbed wire cutting Jerusalem in two, as was the case from 1948 to 1967. Those in East Jerusalem look to the Israeli side for work opportunities and health care. The mere rumor that Israelis and Palestinians might reach an accord in Annapolis prompted a flood of applicants for Israeli citizenship, but only a lucky few will get it; most East Jerusalem Arabs have Jordanian passports. The rush was telling; however much Arabs may feel harassed by Israelis, they fear that annexation...
What I don’t remember (because it didn’t happen) are any complaints by these born-again freedom of speech phonies when Summers, as a mere professor, was prevented from making a speech to the University of California Board of Regents this September.

...Savile Row and bespoke, for me, is a passion," he says. And his new 6,800-square-foot store is testimony to the street's revitalization.

Only by addressing the Knesset, by visiting Yad Vashem, and by shaking hands in public with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, can he demonstrate that his talk is not mere lip service. The Israeli people no longer trust Arab leaders at their word; they must prove their credibility and desire for peace through their deeds. By taking the political and personal risk of flying to Jerusalem, Assad will have taken the road less traveled. Going to “the ends...
...petition with tick-box “I have had an abortion.” The project was an extension of a 1972 petition that had launched the publication. In that petition, 53 well-known American women came out about the illegal abortions they had personally undergone. This was mere months before Roe v. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion in the United States. Still, last year Ms. promised to send the names of these women of 2006 to Washington to remind lawmakers of the importance of the movement—“to make politicians...
