...head-to-head with the terrorists in the battle for Jordanian hearts and minds. Rishawi has an extremist pedigree-not only her brother-in-law, but also her own brother, another Zarqawi acolyte, died at Falluja. But before a TV audience of millions throughout the Arab world, she struck a pathetic figure. It turns out that she was married only two weeks ago during an Islamic holiday, embarking not on a honeymoon, but on a dance of death with her own groom. Zarqawi's group lauded Rishawi as one of "the lions from our best and most honored brigade...
...colleagues dithered, Sarkozy, the son of Hungarian immigrants, thrust himself to the center of the crisis. He proudly states that he has been out in the banlieues every night since the trouble began. While de Villepin, who is seen as Sarkozy's main rival in 2007, struck a conciliatory tone, Sarkozy called last week for the immediate deportation of any foreign citizens convicted of taking part in the violence.

This is disconcerting, as it means that the “best and brightest” in Cambridge—as we were not only the winning sperm but also a member of the top ten percent of Harvard applicants—are as vulnerable as anyone else. In fact, we are just as likely to get hit on the head...
...goal, and he passed it in to Kevin Unger for the score. After Harvard regained its two-goal lead, it appeared to put on the cruise control and coast to the victory. But after senior Bo Clayton made a run and got a shot off on goal, Penn struck quickly on the counterattack and Omid Shokoufandeh managed to get the ball around Crimson goalie Ryan Johnson and into the net. With the Quakers in reach, the play became more fierce in the final minute—but when Johnson collected a shot with under half a minute left to play...
