...advantages of a full endorsement for all College applicants are clear. The great majority of Harvard candidates who shoot for the Rhodes are highly qualified. OCS may judge some to be more qualified than others, but without interviews and full application materials, it is difficult for them to determine whether the Rhodes committees would come to the same decisions that it does. In addition, eliminating the Harvard endorsement competition would allow Harvard applicants more time to work on their actual Rhodes applications. OCS could devote the resources that it currently devotes toward the selection process toward, for example, schooling candidates...
...only to inflame the Aqsa intifadeh further. The Israeli army maintains that it has refined its tactics in the past few years in an attempt to reduce the number killed at demonstrations. Yet a TIME investigation reveals that Israel's loosely drawn rules of engagement permit soldiers regularly to shoot at children. Hostile protesters younger than age 18, whether armed with guns or Molotov cocktails, even stones, are fair game when Israeli soldiers find their actions threatening. In many cases, Israeli attacks can be indiscriminate, such as machine-gun fire into crowded neighborhoods. Children are frequently victims in these cases...

While future plans include a year in Brazil to shoot a thesis, practice Portuguese and have a lot of fun, hopefully under a Harvard sponsorship umbrella, Buckingham is fine where she is now, mostly in the basement of Sever, recombining the stories in her memory for other people...
Under the commando-efficient direction of Taylor Hackford (The Devil's Advocate), the film intelligently deploys familiar thriller elements: chases; shoot-outs; high-level duplicity; terse, sassy dialogue; and a cast having a high time playing preening villains and wily good guys. Even Ryan, with too much attitude and nonstop nutating, finally gets into the film's burly spirit. All this is enough to stoke the action engine, but the movie has a fuller agenda--to give its characters flesh and a meaningful melancholy...
