When Fal Allen expresses a fondness for beer, he doesn't just mean sipping suds in an air-conditioned bar with other members of Singapore's expatriate community. Instead, the 46-year-old American has the kind of passion that drives a man to try unexpected paths-in his case, the ones that lead to the Lion City's stiflingly hot open-air markets, where he sniffs handfuls of potent spices and quizzes stallholders on the flavors they yield. His mission? To find Asian beer's next big ingredient...
Despite being home to numerous student group offices and a penthouse coffee bar, one term after an extensive renovation and the opening of the Student Organization Center in Hilles feels as chilly as an abandoned warehouse. It has been said that only half of the International Relations Council has ever seen their Hilles-based office. And a significant subset of the Harvard population probably can’t distinguish between Hilles, HOLLIS, and Hillel.

But there is one thing missing: students. “Every time I’ve been there, the place is all but empty,” Harvard Democrats Communications Director Garrett D. Nelson ’09 wrote in an e-mail. Despite the barren hallways, Assistant Dean of the College Paul J. McLoughlin II said that he was “incredibly happy” with the success of SOCH’s first semester...
...Some of the televised spectacles from the territories (the beating of demonstrators, some acts of sadism, the burying alive, with bulldozers, of Palestinians) undermine the moral edifice of the Chosen. And efforts to keep such deeds from the sight of the world, to confiscate film, to bar journalists from the territories, as if the trouble were merely a hallucination and intercepting the message would annul the problem -- all these seem to smack of manipulation. In the first weeks of the Palestinian uprising, many of America's Jews raised their voices against Israel...
