...Well, that's a good segue into another thing you write about, which is boredom. What is the best way to deal with someone who is boring you in a conversation? That is absolutely one of the hardest questions. The basic structure of a conversation with a boring person is that you have to entertain yourself. They're not going to do it. Most people respond to [being asked], "Are there people whom you really just don't talk to?" It's a strange topic of conversation. But I found that it's almost foolproof. Of course...
...instead seek a state in the West Bank and Gaza as a more limited, but attainable objective. Hamas has not yet formally made such a shift, although its leaders are clearly moving toward accepting some version of a two-state outcome - and the more Hamas takes responsibility for the well-being of the residents of Gaza and the West Bank, the more likely they will be to accept Israel's existence as a bitter but inescapable compromise...

A group of Cameroonian nationals based in France has also lodged a lawsuit in Paris accusing Cameroon President Paul...
...every athlete was as appreciative. The start change, according to several athletes, cheapened the outcome of the event because it gave such an advantage to the German racers. The strong, well-schooled German athletes are particularly strong starters, and on a shorter course, the weaker starters, who excel at negotiating the curves, don't have enough time to pick up speed at the bottom of the mountain. "God blessed the Germans today," says Ruben Gonzalez of Argentina, who came in last. "Once I saw the wall up, I though we were fine. They didn't have to move the start...
