Some of the men waved and cheered a victory; others knelt to pray. A man with bullet wounds came out on a stretcher. All passed through metal detectors. U.S. embassy officials later found more than 90 rifles and other guns left behind, and Israeli troops said they found 40 explosive devices.

...holy places still have special power, this church not least among them. Muslims are specifically ensured the right to pray in the Church of the Nativity, a privilege dating back to A.D. 638. Israeli soldiers, swarming into Bethlehem last month as part of the campaign to crush the machinery of Palestinian terror, surrounded the church compound but did not storm it.

Sophomore Marc Hordon, whose 1.61 Ivy League ERA in four appearances is tops among starters in the conference, will also be unavailable to pitch due to a shoulder injury suffered last weekend. Senior Justin Nyweide will likely open the three-game series, but the usually steady starter has struggled lately, giving up nine runs in 2.1 innings to Dartmouth in his last appearance. Sophomore Trey Hendricks, the team’s best hitter and a strong candidate to start one of the games, came...
