In the end, that defiance may have cost Hariri his life. But it also gave his countrymen-and, perhaps, the region-a chance for a different future...

...indy music scene here at Harvard, and the Farmer Shop Quartet (which I’ve conveniently linked at tinyurl.com/2d8m to make up for the fact it has a horribly long address) allows you to make one that would fit in at Cornell. At www.isketch.com, you can pit your drawing talents against those of your roommates (or those of complete strangers, if your roommates are more responsible than you are) in a game that very closely resembles Pictionary...
