...most difficult border for Israel to defend, ironically, is the one where it abuts the only neighbor against which it has never deliberately gone to war. Despite wire fences, roving military patrols and sand strips designed to pick up footprints, fedayeen have apparently managed to sneak unobserved over the border from Lebanon to carry out terror attacks inside Israel.

Asbestos exposures at Harvard, for example, are no less severe than in other urban communities. A substantial occupational danger exists where University-employed workers sand down old vinyl and asbestos floor tiles to make a flat surface on which to lay new ones.
