Attending the "Rally for Israel" in Tercentary Theatre was among the most disappointing and depressing experiences I can remember. I have always hoped, believed and insisted that the Muslim and Jewish peoples would be able to coexist peacefully and harmoniously. We share a great deal of history and believe in many of the same prophets. In both Arabic and Hebrew, we greet each other with a phrase that means "Peace be upon you." And it is because we have so much in common that the partisan, accusatory and inflammatory nature of the rally was so disturbing...

...even "Noah's rule," as it is called, has its scofflaws. For some of their programs, Saga International Holidays and Grand Circle Travel--both of which cater to people 50 and older--eliminate the single supplement entirely. For other programs, where single accommodations are unavailable, Saga provides a "guaranteed share," a roommate-matching service for unaccompanied travelers willing to occupy a double room; the single supplement is waived if a match can't be arranged.

This highly regarded service uses in-depth personal profiles to match up like-minded travelers within its active database of 2,500 members.

Neither Sherry Winder, 60, a divorced ice-skating teacher from Arlington, Va., nor David Cook, 64, a divorced computer programmer from...
...they need a President who takes their side and stands up and fights for them," says Tad Devine, a chief Gore strategist. He points as evidence to a St. Louis, Mo., debate-watching focus group of 50 people, assembled by the Gore camp. They arrived with the lion's share of them, 41%, undecided. They left with 53% of the room for the Vice President. The Gore staff felt so good about its candidate's performance in the debate that it wants to pour precious advertising dollars into rebroadcasting it on cable channels in battleground states...
