...staff's call for interhouse restrictions is about as empty as a Quadbound shuttle from Greenough on a cold morning. It would change nothing. Luckily, nothing has really changed at 29 Garden in the first place. It's common knowledge there that if you utter "Yard" to the checkers at Currier, you can have all the monk fish you want without fear of reprisal. Even the Currier dining hall manager, Bob Liandro, admits that the policy is rarely enforced. According to one 29G resident, "People still eat pretty much where they want...
...Middle East peace always comes down to specific words, phrases that over the decades have acquired so much significance that for both sides to utter them is to change history. Between Syria and Israel, the game turns on an after-you-Alphonse test of who will speak the key words first.

Before Syria will say those words, it wants to hear from Israel "complete withdrawal...
...surprisingly, the new books are controversial.

A nearly unrecognizable Holly Hunter is simply amazing as Ada. Despite the fact that she does not utter a word during the movie, Hunter manages to provide a full-bodied portrait of Ada, so that the audience knows what she is thinking and feeling without her having to articulate it. Ada marks Hunter's best work on screen thus far. Keeping up with Hunter is Anna Paquin as Ada's daughter Flora. Paquin brings...
Miami's fate, it is often said, was sealed when Fidel Castro started reading Karl Marx at the University of Havana. The mass exodus of middle- and upper- class Cubans, driven into exile by communism in the 1960s, began a process that lifted the city from its utter dependence on domestic tourism into the global economy. The Cubans, given immediate political asylum and resettlement help by Lyndon Johnson and subsequent Administrations, prospered...
