...more troubling is that the First Lady has been reluctant to take stances on important, albeit divisive, issues pertinent to her candidacy. Take, for example, Clinton's recent trip to the Middle East, where she attracted negative attention for failing to respond directly to the allegations of Suha Arafat, the wife of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, that Israel had used poison gas against the Palestinians. Although Clinton later dismissed Suha Arafat's claims as "baseless," she justified her earlier inaction by appealing to her diplomatic role as the First Lady...
Gone are the days when most students, as they did in 1944, could make the quick trip to New York or "wangle dinner invitations from friends of the family in the nearby villages." Harvard students today hale from such far-off ports as San Francisco, Anchorage and Honolulu. Should not they, too, be able to have the time to visit their friends and family on Thanksgiving? Surely, the University is not so stingy as to begrudge them the time to clasp their hands over a hearty meal with loved ones, and with airline tickets none-too-cheap, the University should...

Next week it will travel to the University of Virginia for an invitational against several top-25 teams and will then head off to glorious Southern California for a grueling training trip over winter recess...
When Bill Clinton planned to start this week's European trip with a stopover in Athens, his timing could hardly have been worse. Clinton knew he had to visit Greece because he was going to its rival Turkey, but his brain trust never debated the wisdom of a schedule that would put him in Athens shortly before Wednesday, Nov. 17. That sensitive anniversary commemorates a 1973 crackdown on pro-democracy students and is traditionally marked by demonstrations against the U.S. Moreover, Greeks are particularly angry at Washington this year over NATO's bombing of Kosovo. Still, "no one believed security...
