While undergraduates have dilly-dallied, the larger Harvard community is doing anything but remaining mute; open debate about the conflict and its implications has been literally shouted from the rooftops. In the past few weeks alone, there have been more than a dozen University-sanctioned events dealing with the Israel/Palestine issue, including a six-part seminar on the Middle East co-sponsored by the Weatherhead Center...

He is treated as the messiah by conservatives left in the wilderness since Newt Gingrich was exiled, who have been willing all year long to mute their horror at that inclusive language and mushy bipartisanship.

Analysts don't expect much serious policy discussion at the meeting, but the Administration wanted its plan in play beforehand--with quiet support lined up from the Saudis as a way to help mute criticism from such OPEC members as Iran. The move is bound to displease those members who want and need high oil prices--countries such as Indonesia that could, as Gore warned last winter, reduce output in response. So the U.S. is treading carefully, describing its plan as a "temporary, precautionary, internal...
