...past the old negotiate-or-not logjam. It allowed for a Palestinian state, but absent a reliable negotiating partner, Israel would decide what that state would look like. Suddenly Sharon had positioned himself to the left, and also to the right, of the traditional Israeli parties. "It was a perfect reflection of the country's mood," says David Makovsky of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. "After 40 years of occupying the territories, people are sick and tired of it. They don't want to have anything to do with Palestinians. They were going to give Sharon...

...have no place in Red’s forest, none of the motion is smooth, and every possible corner is cut: when characters aren’t talking, they often just freeze in place until their next line.

Even that tally could hardly be blamed on the netminder: Union winger Augie DiMarzo sent a perfect pass cross-ice to streaking linemate T.J. Fox for a quick one-timer past the sliding Daigneau at 15:20 in the third period. But the goaltender protected his net for the rest of the game, including a key right-skate stop of sniper Olivier Bouchard’s point-blank shot...

...Rachel Walker finishing two through five respectively. But it couldn’t claim the top spot.“It was nice because for the first time we were not in the lead,” Pangilinan said. “It really forced our team to be perfect and everyone had to really work for every point and it really showed how valuable each person on our team really is.”In the next two events, the 200-yard freestyle and the 100-yard backstroke, the highest place that Harvard finished was third, with senior Erin...
