...still grinding out a war against Israel, those visions can seem incredible. The area around the Israeli occupation zone is a no-man's-land of mines, barbed wire and abandoned villages. But it is in that desolate and hilly country that Hizballah has begun its transformation. Shunning outward extremism for the sake of attracting the broadest support among its mainly Shi'ite constituency, it now holds nine seats in the Lebanese parliament. It dominates scores of municipal councils. And, using millions of dollars given by Iran and donations collected from Lebanese, Hizballah has won support by opening hospitals, health...
Since 1965, astronomers have had powerful evidence that the cosmos began with a Big Bang and that everything has been expanding outward ever since. But in the 1970s and early '80s, U.S. and Russian physicists (including Guth) realized that powerful energy fields dominating the cosmos when it was a fraction of a second old could have turbocharged the expansion, forcing the universe to fly apart--or "inflate"--at a rate many times faster than the speed of light. (The light barrier can't be broken by things moving through space, but space itself is exempt from this universal speed limit...

...viewed without suspicion, is to encourage interaction between the groups and the rest of the campus. AACF and other ethnic-specific organizations have the potential to dispel distrust, but this will only be possible if there is a genuine effort on the part of the groups to reach outward, and on the rest of the campus to reciprocate...
