...complex. We have a pogrom complex. We have a Hitler complex.'' Yehoshafat Harkabi, once the chief of Israeli military intelligence and now a professor of international relations at the Hebrew University, has one of the clearer minds in the Middle East. He sits in his study at dusk, on Bar Kokhba, a street in Jerusalem named for the leader of a catastrophic Jewish rebellion against the Romans in A.D. 132, an uprising that left half a million Jews dead and the people of Israel scattered to the corners of the earth.

Early on, founders Jerry Yang and David Filo set up a free cappuccino bar for employees and have followed up with annual company-wide gifts, ranging from MP3 players to sleeping bags. Google has topped the coffee bar with free meals and a host of perks. But in Yahoo!'s case, staying caffeinated and hungry might not be a bad idea...
...College, Sally C. Donahue, welcomed the move to increase federal funding for needy students, citing a lack of action in Washington over the last four years. “It’s terrific to see at the very beginning of these budget discussions that the bar has been set relatively high on such a critically important issue,” Donahue said in an interview yesterday.
