Its the middle of november already. This year and semester have flown by. There is a lot of stuff going on in Washington here lately. Ashcroft and Powell have both steped down from their cabinet positions. Who is going to replace them is anybody's guess. Heard that Condelleza Rice could be the next Secratary of State. That is only a rumor. Yassir Arrafat has passed away. Is this going to hurt or help the push for peace between Palestine and Israel? Your guess is as good as mine.
