...rival past “Jewbilation” events, like a discussion with Institute of Politics Fellow Tony Leon, according to an e-mailed statement from Danielle L. Charlap ’09, the president of Hillel’s steering committee. “It was a shame that it was not more widely attended,” said audience member Ilan J. Caplan ’10. “The topics touched on are very important.” The trivia game addressed a variety of Jewish idiosyncrasies, from famous Jewish director Woody Allen?...

As I read it, I couldn't help but think that perhaps this was the country Vice President Dick Cheney was thinking about when he said our invading forces would be greeted as liberators. It's a shame that Saddam Hussein was so evil and his country so rich in resources that we had to get rid of him by force. Yet Burma, a country rich in culture and tradition, can only wait for U.N. sanctions that will take a while to go into effect and will only...
