...himself is still deep in hiding. During the summer's fighting, the Israelis made no secret that they were trying to assassinate him. Western diplomats in Beirut say they are trying to persuade the Israelis that killing the Hizballah boss is no longer a good idea. His murder could spark reprisals across the Middle East. Hizballah has ways of taking revenge. After Israelis targeted a previous Hizballah leader in 1992, the militia blew up the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires.

Hallion then followed up with a steal and layup to push Harvard back out in front. The teams then traded baskets until the Bobcats had had enough...
...that administrators are the only people who can implement change at Harvard. Essentially, this sometimes-forgotten fact leaves the UC in the position of a “pressure group” more than a “government.”The only way for the UC to spark change, then, is to apply pressure to the administration and directly to faculty members in any manner possible.
