...peace and prosperity, was ended by a coup in 1973 while the monarch was in Italy for mud-bath treatments. At an interview with TIME, the King appeared in notably better health than he did five months ago, when world leaders began looking to him to help fill the vacuum left by the Taliban. Still, he is 87 years old. "But this is the very reason for my return," he insists. "I want to dedicate the last few years of my life to confront the difficulties in the land to which I belong." He will leave his villa in north...

For example, Dershowitz would demand that the Palestinian Authority combat terror while Israel maintains a siege imprisoning three million Palestinians in their towns and villages.

"I want to dedicate the last few years of my life to confront the difficulties in the land to which I belong...

The “research” cited in the council’s own report on the matter...
...Opinion, Mar. 4). I have often heard it said that the wackiness of Harvard liberals makes rational students on this campus more conservative when they leave than they were when they got here. MacKenzie’s ridiculous assertions that it is better to be sucked into a vacuum (the abortion method he cites to defend the humaneness of the procedure) than to be born into a non-ideal situation certainly serves to make many moderate and rational students rethink whether they want to be associated with such “pro-choice” radicals. The same is true...
