...members of the Harvard Islamic Society strongly condemn Tuesday’s heinous attacks (News, “Terrorists Attack America,” Sept. 11). Islam has neither place nor tolerance for such vicious and immoral acts, and we consider these atrocities to be absolutely deplorable. We send our collective condolences to the families of the bereaved. Our hearts and prayers go out to the victims and their loved ones. As members of the American community, we are shocked by these tragic events and hope that the perpetrators of these senseless acts of violence are brought to justice...
When Kurt Cobain took his life at the peak of Nirvana’s popularity in April 1994, critics were quick to draw comparisons between his suicide and the accidental death of Sex Pistols bassist Sid Vicious. Superficial parallels were quickly noticed—Cobain and his loudmouthed peroxided wife, Hole front-woman Courtney Love, were habitual heroin users; Vicious and his notorious bleached-blonde companion, Nancy Spungen, were also well-known junkies.

...come to dominate the spotlight at the U.N.-sponsored World Conference Against Racism, produces its own strangely dissonant images: Hasidic Jews from New York bearing placards proclaiming that "Zionism equals Anti-Semitism," or Mary Robinson, the U.N.'s Irish Catholic human rights commissioner proclaiming that when she sees vicious anti-Semitic slurs, "I am a Jew." (Sorry, Mary. It's not like being a "Berliner" - the rabbis are pretty protective over their criteria.) Outside, meanwhile, a group of pro- and anti-Israel activists trade '60s peace-and-love anthems: "Give Peace a Chance," sing the Zionists; "We Shall Overcome," counter...
