...visitors—guests from South Korea, and a TV camera. Three employees of the Korean Broadcasting System (KBS), South Korea’s leading television station, rolled tape yesterday while students at Hillel talked about their experiences as Americans, as college students, and as Jews. Footage of the round-table discussion will be featured in an upcoming KBS documentary about Jewish life in America. “It’s an extraordinary opportunity to educate quite a lot of people in Korea about Judaism in our own words from our perspective,” said Harvard Hillel Associate...

The presidential challenger advocates an interim caretaker government until a second round of voting takes place. "It's only by showing the credibility of the election process that we have any chance." Otherwise, "this country will slip out of our hands to the Taliban." (See pictures...
...miss the most important development in Iran on Sept. 18: the fact that the much harassed opposition was still turning out immense crowds. For one thing, international media coverage had turned to the geopolitical intrigues of President Barack Obama's policy shifts on missile defense, signifying a possible new round of sanctions against Iran, coupled with signs of engagement that the U.S. would sit down with Iran for talks. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, sending his usual supply of mixed signals to the world, supports negotiations but is outwardly defiant on budging on Iran's nuclear policy, which Iran claims...
