Israel/Palestine is the Fermat's Last Theorem of geopolitics. It will take just as long to solve...
...high school, casual conversation with faculty members was an integral, and indeed unavoidable, part of my experience. Every teacher has a desk in a room devoted entirely to his or her department. As a result, when teachers are not explaining the fundamental theorem of calculus or The Wasteland, they go to desks in their respective department “resource centers.” In these centers, students can extend a discussion that occurred in class, or informally chat about the Yankees or the relative merit of the latest Pokémon movie.

Brokaw said the journalism industry faces a challenge in finding what is truly important in the smorgasbord of available information.
