...actually going scuba diving next week in Mexico. He and I are going on vacation at the same time. This blog was actually not intended primarily to be about Harvard. It was intended to be about politics and media with the occasional dollop of Harvard news. But I found the story still interested me. It’s a fascinating story—it’s historic, it’s dramatic. I’m not sure it quite reaches the level of tragic, but there are tragic elements in it. Above all—and this will...
That's when Jones' hobby turned into gallantry. Six years ago, Jones had taken up scuba diving. As the floodwaters arrived, he donned his swim trunks, scuba mask and snorkel and stepped outside into winds of more than 100 m.p.h., punctuated by the rumble of passing tornadoes. "I was more worried about flying debris than I was about what was beneath the water I was walking into," says Jones, who usually dives off placid sites like Key West, Fla., and Cozumel, Mexico.

Renowned for its beaches and scuba diving, the Egyptian resort town of Sharm el-Sheikh had become a vacationing hot spot for Europeans, Israelis and Arabs alike. But its bustling nightlife was shattered late last week by three nearly simultaneous explosions that killed at least 88 and wounded more than 200. The deadliest terrorist attack in Egypt since 1981--in a town considered secure enough to host cease-fire talks last winter between Israel's Ariel Sharon and Palestine's Mahmoud Abbas--comes less than two months before voters will decide whether President Hosni Mubarak gets a fifth six-year...
