Vulpillieres says better group organization may hold the key, arguing that queer groups at Brandeis and Northeastern owe their success, at least in part, to their weekly meetings. In contrast, BGLTSA has held only three community meetings this year...

Some U.S. military men feel the Saudis "owe us" - a reference to Operation Desert Storm saving Saudi skin back in 1991. But the Saudis are fearful that a carte blanche could entangle the Kingdom in American wars against Iraq or even Iran, making popular opposition to the U.S. military presence a hot political issue - which, despite bin Laden...
