THE REVENGE OF THE HAVE-NOTS
True, it is difficult to systematically track the demographics of a stampede, but what most of those rushing to escape birdshot and tear gas canisters have in common is that they are male, urban, young, and unemployed; they have very little to lose, and even less confidence in a political class that does not represent them.

Girls Lead in Science Exam, Especially in Jordan
Researchers say these cultural forces that keep women out of science are strong in the United States, Britain and Canada but far less pervasive in Russia, Asia and the Middle East, which have a much higher proportion of women in science and engineering. In Jordan, for example, girls score more than 8 percent better in science than boys do.

The Blinded Fools of Lebanon
Don’t you find some Lebanese reactions to things in this country overly odd? What I can’t fathom is how some people can be more than convinced that the best way to stand up for the Lebanese army is to block the road for everyone else and create a new mess for the army to clean up.
