Sommers described Expos as the “model and envy of other writing programs.” Indeed, Duke once tried to lure her away to Durham and Princeton’s director, Kerry Walk, is a former Expos instructor and Sommers prot?...
...begun to identify militants thought to have taken part in the attack. On March 22, the U.S. military announced the arrest of Qais Khazali and his brother Laith, saying the two were apprehended in Basra and Hillah for allegedly playing a role in the Karbala attack. Khazali was a prot??g of al-Sadr's in 2004 and '05, but his relationship to al-Sadr and the Mahdi Army is unclear these days.

Patty Hewes, for instance, bears the marks of becoming a successful, feared litigator in a man's profession; she doesn't rely on no-you're-out-of-order outbursts but uses charm, wit and sly threats.

"John is the quintessential congressional chairman, protecting his jurisdiction while often reaching to grab someone else's," according to Leon Panetta, who chaired the Budget Committee before serving as White House chief of staff. "The last thing he wants is to lose jurisdiction...

He accomplished this through brilliance (he developed his own secularly comprehensible synthesis of rabbinics), superhuman productivity (he has written more than 950 books, although he will admit to a certain reprocessing of material) and a knack for grooming gifted prot??gs who now run Jewish studies at top schools. He is equally famous for alienating many of his disciples with what came to be known as "Neusner's drop-dead letters." (Neusner calls the complaint "overstated.") He can keep friends--Harvard classmate John Updike wrote a fond 1986 short story...
