...committee’s report. The proposed calendar also includes an earlier start and a much earlier finish to the Spring semester, with exams finishing at least a week sooner in May. This extra time at the start of the Summer introduces a welcome degree of flexibility in our pursuit of jobs and internships during the vacation. And without exams in January, the prospect of a small, intensive period dedicated to a single class, project or activity is made possible. Though admittedly still indefinite in nature, a stand-alone January term, if adopted, would begin late enough that our Winter...
...grownup world of realpolitik is all about compromise and lesser evil and deals with the devil in pursuit of limited objectives; it's simply na?ve to imagine that principle tops expedience in the pursuit of national security objectives . Still, it's worth asking - as the Israelis have done over Hamas - whether it was possible, in the 1980s, to visualize the long-term consequences of the "Arab Afghan" program.

In pursuit of Hamas' goals, he said, "you don't jump there in one jump." Some can be achieved, he explained, through "stages, phases. We don't have a problem reaching a phase suitable to the current situation and leaving the rest to history and future generations...
...makes him seem programmed. "I've worked out with Tiger Woods in rehab for my knee this winter, and he and ARod are very similar," says Giambi. "These guys have been planning what they want from their lives since they were young kids. They're single-minded in their pursuit of being the best players in their game." Tom Hicks, the Texas Rangers owner, says maturity was a major reason he signed A-Rod to a 10-year contract, though the player isn't a total robot. "Every so often he does something appropriate for a 28-year...
