...everybody in Lebanon was pleased, as there is a price to pay. From the Christian town of Marjayoun just north of the Israeli border, crashing booms of Israeli shellfire exploded in a nearby valley at the foot of Shebaa Farms mountainside, an Israeli- occupied strip of territory that Israel captured from Syria in the 1967 war. Israeli aircraft also destroyed three key bridges across the Litani River, cutting off much of southeast Lebanon from the capital. One Lebanese soldier and two civilians were killed when Qasimiyeh Bridge, six miles north of Tyre, was blown up. Lebanese troops blocked the roads...
...beloved object. To him, blankets can be just as addictive as brandy, coffee, or cigarettes. Words aren’t even necessary to stand out in this musical. Woodstock (Samantha K. Biegler ’08), a character this company brought to the stage from Schulz’s strip, manages to do so without having lines or songs of her own.

Somewhere, there was a sort of temperamental dark matter exerting an invisible gravitational pull of its own. More and more, scientists are concluding that this unexplained force is our siblings...
...opportunity was evident. Last year tourists made about as many visits to Atlantic City as to Las Vegas (34.9 million, vs. 38.6 million) and spent a comparable amount of money gambling--$5 billion at Atlantic City's 12 casinos, vs. $6 billion at the 42 casinos on Vegas' Strip. But the Strip's casinos brought in an additional $6.9 billion from nongambling sources, while Atlantic City's drew just $1.3 billion. All in, tourists dropped $36.7 billion in Vegas; Atlantic City's take was one-fifth of that. Billions, it seemed, were being left on the table...
