Libya's prime minister optimistic despite country's struggles
WASHINGTON Despite fissions that threaten to break up his state and rising concerns about human rights abuses, Libya’s new prime minister assured top officials in Washington this week that his government would create a democracy that protected minority rights. But Abdel-Rahim el Keib an electrical engineering professor at the University of Alabama until the fall of Moammar Gadhafi appeared to offer few specifics in meetings with President Barack Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and lawmakers. Instead, he repeatedly dismissed concerns that Libya is struggling on several fronts: to create a defense force, to stop rising crime, to hold the country together and to keep ungoverned cities from becoming havens for terrorist groups like al Qaida

Basketball, Jews, and Tolerance
By Rafael Medoff ~ The controversy over the Jewish high school basketball team in Houston that would not play a tournament game on the Sabbath reveals much about how Jews see their place in American societyand also a great deal about how American societys attitude toward Jews has changed over the years. In his book Judaisms Encounter with American Sports, Prof. Jeffrey Gurock describes how, in 1934, in an uncaring if not intolerant America, baseball slugger Hank Greenberg came under tremendous pressure from the public and news media to play on the holiday of Rosh Hashana in a game that was crucial to his teams pennant chances

The carriers of memory
Within two months of the outbreak of World War I, as many as 640,000 young men had volunteered for service in the British army. They gathered outside recruiting offices in crowds so large that mounted police sometimes had to be called in to control them. Fast forward 90 years, however, and we find a British Prime Minister apparently lying to the same nation in order to convince it of the moral and legal justification for invading Iraq
