DePaul University Assistant Professor Norman G. Finkelstein, who has been no stranger to controversy in years past, will face difficulty gaining tenure this summer after the dean of DePaul’s College of Arts and Sciences overrode recommendations made at the departmental and college review level...
...connection between the star and his audience. That's Ferrell's main achievement during this hot run of his. Since his first smash, the 2003 Elf (still his highest grosser), he has kept busy and lucky: building a succession of hits, dabbling in the higher-IQ type of comedy (Stranger Than Fiction), cameoing in his friends' films, occasionally lending his luster to indies nobody sees.

...recent meetings with Israeli officials. "It's amazing that we're blocking this track just because we want to isolate the Syrians," a former U.S. diplomat told me. "This could be the wedge that separates the Syrians from Iran." Or it could be another dead end. Then again, stranger things have happened to travelers as unlikely as Ehud Olmert on the road to Damascus...
