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...

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...
