...dropped again and again to the ground, smashing and stirring up dirt as part of the ongoing Grant/Cowperthwaite construction project. What the Harvard construction website euphemistically describes as “ongoing digging and concrete operations” was creating a noise loud enough to wake the dead. The relentless pounding was giving me a headache, and could apparently be heard as far away as Dunster and Mather; one student described it as reminiscent of the scene in Jurassic Park where the T-Rex slams his feet and water in the glass shakes. For anyone who had heard the noise...
...Bomgardner, who had been sitting behind him, left the hearing room in tears. She left when Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) was apologizing to Alito for his treatment by the opposition.

...their flagging leader, trade unionist Amir Peretz, whose lack of experience in diplomacy and security issues pushed middle-of-the-roaders toward Sharon. The man who hopes to profit most from Sharon's tragedy, however, is his archrival, Benjamin Netanyahu, the onetime Prime Minister whose tenure was marked by relentless opposition to any territorial trade-aways. Left running a rump party populated by the far right that polls a humiliating third, Netanyahu hopes to woo back disenchanted centrists who may fear doing deals with the Arabs without Sharon's strong arm. "He definitely wants to adhere to a more centrist...
