...reach students not when they're already well on the way down, but when they're still in the air. It seems silly to intervene only at the latest possible stage; sure, it may prevent actual suicides, absolving Harvard of guilt, but it will not spare students the terror of the plummet...
...their article appearing on April 29 titled "Israel's Campaign of Terror," authors Ahmed T. El-Gaili, Ramy M. Tadros and Rami A. Thabet badly misrepresent the situation in Southern Lebanon.

Therein lies the weakness in Peres' current lead. Late last week a poll showed the Prime Minister with about 49% of the vote to Netanyahu's 45%.

So do actors like Rosemary Harris and George Grizzard, who seem to have lived in their roles for years (only Elaine Stritch, as Agnes' boozy sister, betrays a bit of Broadway shtick). When Grizzard drops his air of befuddled decorum for a climactic aria of rage and resolve ("I want your plague! You've got some terror with you? Bring...
