...Straus Cup victory. Rosen and co-Master Mandana Sassanfar joined undergraduates in celebrating the inauguration of the new Winthrop House trophy case—a two-tiered, glass-enclosed display situated in the back corner of the dining hall beneath the House’s imposing lion shield. Still basking in the glow of his house’s Straus Cup victory last year, IM representative Andrew M. Prince ’10 attributed Winthrop’s success (both past and future) to an effective effort to encourage student participation. Prince said that instead of relying on a consistent...

They'll be aided by at least four Army dogs that will be sniffing...

In April 2002, during Israel's Defensive Shield operation to reoccupy the West Bank, Hizballah militants staged nearly daily assaults against Israeli military outposts in the Shebaa Farms, a strip of mountainside running along Lebanon's southeast border. This time around, however, Hizballah has confined its actions to fiery statements, speeches and demonstrations of support for the beleaguered Palestinians in Gaza.
