...college's punishment of a drunkard, as Wechsler suggests, students will not be quick to change their own drinking habits. Although danger and harmful effects like the fight at the D.U. are easier to define universally, students--particularly drinkers--will not be easily convinced by Wechsler's approach unless the tragedy personally involves them...
NEST was formed in 1975 after an extortionist threatened to blow up Boston with a nuclear device unless he was paid $200,000. Since then, NEST has evaluated 110 threats, and mobilized itself to deal with about 30 of them; like the Boston incident, all have been hoaxes. Yet NEST is more than a high-tech SWAT team. At the remote Pajarito site in the Los Alamos Nuclear Weapons Laboratory complex in New Mexico, 17 scientists are using technology found on the shelves of Radio Shack and the type of nuclear fuel sold on the black market to construct homemade...

Harding, worried that her contract with the Globe had been nullified, accused the guest, known only as Bob, of theft, saying rolls of official photographs were missing...
...Heights region. That means no Israeli presence whatsoever. Assad is very shrewd, and he knows that his place in history is tied to the Golan. Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres has a reputation as more conciliatory than his predecessor Rabin, and he may give Assad what he wants. But unless Syria gets total control over the Golan Heights, there will be no deal." About 13,000 Israelis in 33 settlements live on the Golan Heights. The Golan controls water flowing to the Sea of Galilee, which provides Israel with 30 percent of its drinking water...
