...experience summer genuinely. Sitting on a—the—bench, I took a break from editing others’ words. The tale is by and about literary legend Jorge Luis Borges. Sitting in Cambridge, Borges encounters a younger version of himself who imagines he has stumbled upon the Rhône’s shore in Geneva. He then recalls Greek philosopher Heraclitus explaining how constant change makes it impossible to bathe twice in the same river. Four decades apart, the two Borges are utterly different men. The peace of the slowly drifting Charles contrasted the SUVs rushing...
...modern penchant for minimalism, the revamped cells might seem almost as spartan as the oubliettes they once were, so if you would prefer something less ascetic you can opt for an apartment (sleeping seven), normal shared rooms or a dormitory bed.

As Naboulsi, the spokesman, made his way through the rubble of Harat Hreik, a security man with a walkie-talkie suddenly shouted, "Evacuate! Evacuate!" Naboulsi started running down...
...American ideals I love most: that our diversity is our strength, and that we value all citizens, regardless of race or religion. Those ideals, of course, often aren't honored; the most recent instance of that, in my mind, came late last week, when President Bush insisted upon Israel's right to defend itself, and by doing so put the lives of the 25,000 to 30,000 American citizens in Lebanon, not to mention the millions of native Lebanese, at great risk...
