...members, Chuck Robb, the former Virginia Senator, went to Anbar. We got a pretty darn good feel just by spending time in Baghdad. Pretty soon, we're going to have to start thinking about what our report is going to say. Then we're going to present it to the President and the Congress on the same day, and we'll turn it loose publicly right after we give it to them...
...executions by Saddam's regime in Dujail showed that those boundaries were a mirage: they could close in on you in less time than it takes a bullet to fly from the barrel of a gun. But life in Iraq has become so bloody and death so ever present, random and unpredictable that some Iraqis are nostalgic for Saddam's tyranny. When I told U.S. Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad about the killings of witnesses' families in Dujail, he shook his head but said the current loss of life is "different than a government carrying on violence against its own citizens."

...journal Nature immediately told scientists several important things. First, they learned that overall, the sequences of base pairs that make up both species' genomes differ by 1.23%--a ringing confirmation of the 1970s estimates--and that the most striking divergence between them occurs, intriguingly, in the Y chromosome, present only in males. And when they compared the two species' proteins--the large molecules that cells construct according to blueprints embedded in the genes--they found that 29% of the proteins were identical (most of the proteins that aren't the same differ, on average, by only two amino-acid substitutions...
...with strikingly different national backgrounds and intent. As the exhibition opened two days after the beginning of the war in Lebanon, the photographic installation by Fouad Elkoury of the Israeli invasion in 1983 became painfully relevant and extraordinarily moving—especially when the artist himself could not be present at the opening because of the destruction of the Beirut airport. Those who took Assistant Professor of Visual and Environmental Studies and of History of Art and Architecture Carrie Lambert-Beatty’s History of Art and Architecture 10 may find the name Michael Blum more familiar?...
...stayed. Today’s students do not have to trust their luck. The foundation for their call to public service is right here, in a smorgasbord of activities as accessible as the frozen yogurt in the omnipresent self-serve machine—another Harvard amenity not present a half-century ago. So I say to them: Eat! Enjoy! Learn! Commit! Graduate! Serve...
