...Yasser Arafat, F.W. de Klerk and Nelson Mandela -- did nothing more and nothing less than find a way to break out. By tradition, TIME's Men and Women of the Year are those who have most influenced history, for good or ill, in the previous 12 months. By that standard, Rabin, Arafat, Mandela and De Klerk might be perceived as odd choices. Neither peacemaking deal is complete.

He is widely believed to be harboring presidential aspirations for 2008. Kerry first met with students yesterday at the Institute of Politics, where he had a short lunch with a group of twelve first-years from Isaacs?...
...will be able to apply for future inclusion on this list. This solution will spread the new bounty of festivity beyond the well-known group of party suites, giving more students a chance to throw their own super-party. The UC should ensure, however, that a transparent and consistent standard is employed in deciding which suites are assigned “super-suite” status.Admittedly, some may view this new initiative as an unfair policy toward those who live in singles or small suites, since they will not have access to the new super-party funds.
