...odd social phenomenon, one we're most aware of when we're just starting out here and our social roles are up for grabs. In the first year, most of us carefully feel our way around this place, trying to become familiar with the environment before we plug ourselves into it. For others, graduation might just as well be around the corner because they spend most of their time trying get ahead as quickly (and as unapologetically) as possible. But then there is another group who, like the go-getters, are also quite confident about their place at Harvard--which...
This may strike you as an odd piece of bad news. After all, the golden arm of Neil Rose and the punishing legs of Matt Leiszler gave Harvard a large cushion, which pretty much made the assistance of special teams unnecessary...
...center in Ramallah that had been spouting anti-Israeli invective, a police building in the Gaza Strip used by Arafat's Tanzim paramilitary (which has orchestrated much of the recent unrest) and a Gaza port where the 12 boats of the Palestinian navy were docked.

Later, the Israelis attacked the police academy in Jericho, after Palestinians torched an ancient synagogue there. In each case the Israelis notified Palestinian officials of the site selected before the Cobras flew in, so that...

If he were somehow to defeat Ashcroft - the race had been very close - a series of odd but formidable events would unfold. On Jan. 3, Ashcroft's Senate term would expire. Missouri law requires the seat to be declared "vacant," since the victor in the election would be dead. The state's interim Governor, Roger Wilson, who took office last week upon Carnahan's death, would appoint an interim Senator, who would stand...
...Reid as the doctor's conspiracy-obsessed daughter (she gives enthusiastic tours of the grassy knoll). Helen Hunt, usually dependable, plays Bree, the golf instructor Dr. T becomes romantically involved with after his wife is committed to a mental institution. The character, who is smart but cold, is an odd fit for Hunt. The Academy Award-winning actress can do better than this measly, unlikable role-Bree is clearly half-baked...
