...Hariri's murder could once again unleash the violent centrifugal forces that originally brought Syria in. The postwar political order has sought to preserve a fragile balance among the warlords on all sides by reserving the presidency for a Christian, the prime minister's job for a Sunni Muslim and the role of Speaker of Parliament for a Shiite. Hariri was a Sunni, of course, but many of the remaining Sunni leadership are historically close to Syria, as is the current Christian president, Emil Lahoud - although other Christian politicians are more critical of Syria. The Shiites, some of whom have...
...Ghia Zaatari ’07, Harvard isn’t quite home. Rather, according to the native of Beirut, Lebanon, Harvard is a “studio,” a place to unleash her creativity. The Mather resident has certainly made good use of her studio space, taking sculpture classes, snapping thought-provoking photographs, and drawing fine sketches that have graced the pages of Harvard’s Diversity & Distinction (D&D), among other publications.

Sporadic gunfire from the decaying warehouses, cement plants and junkyards provoked U.S. tanks to unleash high-explosive rounds at insurgent positions. The Wolf Pack's fire-support officer called in mortar fire on buildings and locations where movement was seen. Even in lulls in the gunplay, the Fallujah sound track was alive with detonations and the whomps of tank rounds...
...crucial to Donkey Konga’s success. There are over thirty songs at your drumming disposal, and while your standard Nintendo classics and children’s singalongs are available, so are a range of pop ditties more familiar to the college kids of today. You can unleash your inner Roger Taylor to Queen’s “We Will Rock You,” or dispose of your inner Travis Barker on Blink 182’s “All the Small Things.” Granted, the licensing department at Namco seems to have...
