...Both sides knew as much. Established in 1953 to provide temporary shelter for refugees still homeless after the 1948 war, the camp has 14,000 residents crammed inside a 2 1/2-sq.-mi. maze of attached cinder-block houses on streets barely wide enough for a Toyota, much less a tank. It is home to a fiercely nationalist tradition and some of the Palestinians' most successful terrorists. When the tanks came two weeks ago, Jenin's fighters were surrounded and outgunned but not outfought. In a radio broadcast, Hamas vowed to fight to the death. With the Israeli army busy...
...accompanied 25-year-old Dawanna Robertson to the hospital where she had received her series of vaccine injections two years ago, which caused her severe side effects, including uncontrollable vomiting and debilitating migraine headaches. The basement lab had been completely redecorated--walls had been torn out, a giant fish tank installed--and yet Dawanna could barely muster the strength to go inside. She was literally shaking. She says that as a result of the melanoma trial, she has lost all faith in the medical profession. She no longer takes drugs for her melanoma and hasn't been to a doctor...

Guys, some surreptitiously, others not so much, eyed the female contingent with interest. Glitter and sequins were out in full force, adorning tiny tank tops, suction-tight pants and intricately made-up eyes. For the males, jeans and button-downs were standard, though a few took the dance’s Greek theme to heart. Wrapped in a white sheet masquerading as a toga, Jesse M. Burros ’05 gave his take...
...Five: Toilet train. Remember how your weird cousins from Northern California used to keep a brick in their toilet tank to reduce water flow? Remember how you thought they were crazy? Well, they might have been, but they were right about conserving water. "It does help to put bricks or a quart jug filled with gravel, for example, into the toilet tank," says Swistock. "A heavy item like that displaces a quart or more of water - and that's one less quart of water the toilet needs to refill itself." Once you've mastered water displacement, try another, even more...
