...proud toll-paying member of Harvard Lovers of the Garden State (HLOGS), I take offense at the recent debates over our organizational validity. Opponents of HLOGS, New Jersey and state clubs in general argue that HLOGS does not deserve University funding...
Over several years, Alzheimer’s takes a heavy toll. The disease begins with mild forgetfulness in familiar places, and it progresses over time to seriously impair judgment and the ability to perform daily activities. Senior citizens who were once independent are suddenly forced to rely on others for their care—a transition that is often startling and disorienting. And as parents and grandparents forget their children’s names, the disease can be a traumatic experience for families...
There are roughly six million people in Israel, and 418 Israelis have been killed in terrorist attacks since the PA-backed Palestinian uprising began in September 2000.

But with the death toll now past 1,500--higher than that of the first intifadeh, which lasted from 1987 until 1993--U.S. intervention has become a strategic necessity. The conflict threatens to derail the Administration's plans to open the next phase in the war on terror--in particular, its desire to take on Iraq. If Bush were to allow the escalating combat between the Israelis and the Palestinians...
