Among some Syrians, there is growing suspicion that feuding within the regime may have caused the death this month of Ghazi Kenaan, the Interior Minister who was Syria's intelligence chief in Lebanon from 1982 to 2002. The government declared that Kenaan, in despair over media reports about his interrogation by the U.N. investigators, had committed suicide at his desk.

Indeed, several other key political figuresincluding Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, presidential adviser Karl Rove, and Thomas Finneran, the former speaker of the Massachusetts House of Representativesare...
What I know not, as I shuttle between Robinson and Sever Halls, is whether our brilliant physics and math concentrators are as outlandish as reputed. My acquaintances do not confirm the rule, leading to the suspicion that the true aliens are all at MITbut before I graduate, I will be sure to shop as many advanced theoretical math lectures as possible in order to confirm that hypothesis. At the very least, I hope to finally experience a shopping week that will make me feel better about the stylishness of my concentration instead of irremediably worse...
