...alumni have reached the top of a huge variety of fields. While MIT is justly proud of its fifteen sons and daughters who are now Nobel Laureates, I doubt even Kavulla himself would say that William R. Hewlett MIT SM ’36 (of Hewlett Packard Co.), Benjamin Netanyahu, MIT Class of 1975 (former Israeli Prime Minister), I.M. Pei, MIT Class of 1940 (architect of Boston’s John Hancock Tower among other things), and Tom and Ray Magliozzi, of MIT Classes 1958 and 1972 respectively, (better known as Click and Clack of NPR?...
Concordia gained international attention for last year’s September 9 riot, which shut down the scheduled speech of former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. During the riot, a motley assortment of activists managed to occupy parts of the downtown campus, break windows and viciously taunt the speech’s ticket-holders. An elderly Holocaust survivor was reportedly spit on, while an Israeli flag was burned. As police barricades separated pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli students, I walked by with a first-year art history class on a museum trip. Having already survived one year at the cantankerous...
...devote themselves fully to activism. Hard leftists, they ally themselves with many of Concordia’s large Middle-Eastern community on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, making the issue dominate student political life.

Israel's former Prime Minister climbed confidently out into a crowd of voters gathered in this blue-collar town hard by Tel Aviv's airport. A few began singing a Hasidic song: "Messiah, Messiah." In a stronghold of the Likud Party that Netanyahu used to head, that seemed no exaggeration. It is the hard-line nationalism of the Likud and its likely right-wing coalition partners that these people want, and Foreign Minister Netanyahu is the man they think best suited to sell...
...resurgent Zionist sentiment. Last week, Sharon barred Arafat's delegates from traveling to a Palestinian-reform conference organized in London by British Prime Minister Tony Blair. Israeli analysts saw the move as an attempt to embarrass Blair, because he had refused to host Sharon's Foreign Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, while granting an audience to Mitzna. But it also helped Sharon score a few tough-guy points in the days after the Tel Aviv bombings. Sharon would be looking at a landslide victory if his Likud Party hadn't tarnished itself with corruption scandals (see box), which have boosted the protest...
