...within their fields. Three humanities classes were also approved. Classics professor Kathleen M. Coleman’s Culture and Belief 17: “Institutional Violence and Public Spectacle: The Case of the Roman Games”—adapted from Historical Study B-06—will probe why institutionalized violence was so popular in ancient Rome. Romance languages and literature professor Doris Sommer’s Aesthetic and Interpretive Understanding 13: “Cultural Agents”—formerly Spanish 280— was also approved. It will include a “Social...

Pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to resign is mounting. On May 28, Ehud Barak, the current Defense Minister and a former Prime Minister, called on Olmert to step aside, saying he is too distracted by an ongoing corruption probe to effectively lead. On May 27, a U.S. businessman testified in a Jerusalem court that he gave Olmert $150,000 over 15 years ending in 2003--much of it in cash stuffed in envelopes. Olmert, who earlier had disclosed that Israel was in the midst of conducting peace talks with Syria, says the funds were legal campaign contributions...
...days, following system checks and the capture of hundreds of images from stereoscopic cameras, the stationary probe will begin its search for frozen water. Scientists say Mars was once flush with rivers and lakes, but most of the water escaped into space due to the planet's low gravity and thin atmosphere. What's left is believed to be concentrated at the poles. Phoenix will soon begin digging for it, extending an 8 ft. (2.35 m) robotic arm outfitted with a movable scoop. First, however, scientists will use landing-site images to build a virtual 3-D computer...
...spacecraft now has about three months to study the Martian north pole before -200 F winter temperatures hit the region and threaten to freeze the instruments. But Phoenix is designed with a longer, six-to-eight-month stay in mind, so hopes are high that the probe will not only find frozen water but will also serve as a precursor to later missions seeking evidence of microscopic organic life. Which means that NASA, like Frosty, will probably be back again someday...
