...Israel (not anti-Arab), on the other those who support Palestine (not anti-Jew) and in the middle lie the rest--held hostage by the conflicting viewpoints flying around them. The result? People just don't want to talk about it anymore. Our campus has fallen victim to a virus fatal to an institution of higher learning: fear of speaking one's mind...

A number of speakers at an Oct. 23 rally sponsored by Harvard Students for Israel (HSI) accused the Palestinians of purposely sending their youth into the line of fire for propaganda purposes.

Thus, in the case of madness, the inner development of a victim of insanity cannot be easily conveyed, for an audience will be prone to classify all varieties of irrational behavior and speech as more or less the same. Madness itself permits for little development. Nor can a dramatist force the audience's perspective on that madness to change over timeunless...
