Along with the click of four-color pens and the occasional bleep of the obstreperous cell phone, the newest sound to be heard in Harvard's lecture halls is the click-clack of knitting needles. While it feels a little absurd to place this activity--formerly associated with hearthside grandmothers--alongside the yo-yo and the hula hoop in the ranks of the truly faddish, it's hard not to notice the conspicuous rise of "chicks who knit...
...busy Harvard students make time for knitting? According to Malsberger, optimal knitting time is while watching T.V., talking on the phone, or during a study break in the library. Several confessed to having knit in class, but Lewis has kicked the habit. "I decided it wasn't very polite." To compensate, Lewis has mastered the art of knitting while reading. "I like to have something to do with my hands," she explains. While no one has figured out a way to knit while typing, voice activation software may yet allow knitters to free their hands from the keyboard while...
...night in the local sports bars, as the Bruins take on the Mapleleafs at the Fleet Center. If the idea of an entire night surrounded by rowdy drunk people screaming at talking pictures seems a little old, why not go to the game itself?

(The player automatically calls headquarters once or twice a month in the middle of the night, which I find creepy.) You see, rather than simply renting Divx disks, you buy them outright, for $4.50, and never return them...
...inform on the militant group Hamas. According to a Palestinian intelligence official, one of Sarsour's group, in detention after the Beersheba attack, claims Sarsour told him that he had multiple meetings with Shinbet officers; that he was given $1,000, in part to pay for a mobile phone to facilitate contacts with Shinbet; and that his Shinbet handlers helped him travel to Jerusalem three times, during which he scouted targets. The Israelis claim that they had asked the Palestinian Authority to arrest Sarsour before his last crime; the P.A. says he was never on its list...
