...historically been a bastion of WASP gentility--and traces of that aristocratic outlook still exist today. The maids' quarters may now house students, but the male-only final clubs continue to thrive, and those with a Harvard legacy in their family are unjustifiably given preferential treatment in the admissions process. The presidential search is a fortuitous opportunity to step away from the WASP legacy that continues to influence the atmosphere of the University...
...jokes. The all-too-human exchange ended when Issa came in and ordered silence, believing it would be harder for the Palestinians to kill their captives if they'd engaged them as human beings. And that's a lesson both sides learned two decades later in their tortuous peace process. They may disagree on fundamentals, but their ongoing conversation makes it a lot harder to imagine going back...
Shas' every move is calculated to play on Mizrahis' most basic beliefs: their faith in the power of the tzaddiks, their resentment of being discriminated against by European Jews and a knee that jerks to the right when it comes to the peace process. Shas quit the Cabinet in July because Barak wouldn't advise the party leadership of his plans for the Camp David summit with President Bill Clinton and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. Barak's response was to call for a "secular revolution" that would end the Orthodox rabbis' lock on institutions like marriage and allow civil weddings...
Also disturbing is the fact that one of the most important parts of the tiremaking process may have been compromised at the Decatur plant. Ex-employees, dismissed by Firestone as disgruntled, have recently testified in court that the facility was suffering from various quality-control problems in the mid-'90s.

Firestone did not return calls for comment...
Masback's arguments notwithstanding, the prospects for cheaters have never been better, because drug testing as it has existed heretofore means little. The I.O.C., fearing false positive tests of clean athletes and subsequent lawsuits in nations that enjoy due process (read, the U.S.), has set its "dirty" bar extremely high. And most cheaters are careful to choose hard-to-detect drugs or stop their intake well in advance of expected tests...
