That trembling mood was shared last week by millions of traumatized Israelis and Palestinians, by neighboring Arab regimes fearful that the unrest would spread to their streets and by the increasingly isolated moderates in the Bush Administration eager to clean up the mess in the Middle East. The 17-month-old cycle of killing in Israel and the occupied territories has become a death spiral from which there seems to be no escape. More than 50 people died in a three-day exchange of suicide attacks and air strikes that left even hardened veterans of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict numb...

The sweetener, perhaps, was the notion of "normalization" rather than simply 242's requirements for recognition of Israel and peace. That, and also the prince's suggestion that he would use his considerable political clout to persuade the Arab...
Vana doesn’t spend all his time reading poetry and practicing calligraphy. He spends his Sundays as an on-call volunteer for the Red Cross, works as a User Assistant, tutors in Arabic and organic chemistry, is an honorary member of the Society of Arab Students and plays the trumpet, drums and baritone horn in the band. He finds time to relax by watching movies and sleeping on the weekends, with the occasional party thrown in. “I try to make it a policy to get out of Harvard once a week...
