...weeks. Such attacks, Eiland says, demand a live-fire reaction--but not, he insists, a free-fire one. Eiland tells TIME that the army is preparing to court-martial a soldier and an officer for firing live rounds when there was no clear threat to their life. But restraint has been a tough sell in Israel. Posters and banners read: LET THE ARMY WIN. Even centrist politicians argue that the army's hands are tied and that its "restraint" costs Israeli lives...
...stage of the Antichrist Superstar/Mechanical Animals triptych), the quality of the music mostly compensates for its unabashed gloom. Despite its tired references to death, hell and maggots, "In the Shadow of the Valley of Death" is a haunting and effective acoustic number, and dirge-like opener "Godeatgod" shows surprising restraint. It's obvious that great care was taken in constructing the songs on Holy Wood; guitars chugging over suggestive ambience often peel away to reveal acoustic strumming, fragile piano and yes, pulsing synths.

It is ironic that the five justices in favor of the stay are traditional...
...would be an overwhelming restraint on the ability of associations to participate in campus discussion to do otherwise--to allow a Catholic student group but forbid it from inquiring whether a leadership candidate is heretical, or to allow Harvard Students for Choice yet force them to ignore whether a candidate is anti-abortion. The legitimacy of an official student group that views African-Americans as inferior (or homosexual acts as immoral) might be hard for some to justify, but once the university decides to allow the group, it must be able to choose leaders who accept its articles of faith...
