...announcement, Princeton and the University of Virginia have also eliminated their early admission programs. We immediately contacted them to see if they might wish to join us for recruiting activities in November and December. Both schools have enthusiastically agreed, and we believe that our combined efforts—which mirror our current spring and early fall joint travel trips to 120 cities along with Duke, Georgetown, the University of Pennsylvania, and Stanford—will enable us to attract an even better and more diverse pool of applicants...

In Gaza you could see the place was seething. But frankly the notion of bin Laden taking over sounded like propaganda to me. Now, though, watching the growing chaos, and with the kidnapping of a BBC journalist, I think the Israelis were right...
