By LIOR BASSELL | April 27, 2007

The Washington, D.C., Foreign Study Program, cancelled last January by the Committee on Off-Campus Activities, has been revamped and re-instated for Spring term 2008. COCA cancelled the Washington FSP last year, citing an inconsistency between the program's focus on an internship component and the College's policy against awarding academic credit for internships. "They thought there wasn't enough in-class experience," government professor Joseph Bafumi, who will lead the trip, said.

Giuliani did not condemn Bush's policy, pointing out that America has not been attacked since 9/11, although he and others in law enforcement had predicted more attacks.

The questioner threw his hands up, asking, "So no rights?" "You have more freedom than anyone in this world has ever had, and no one is taking that from you," Giuliani said. Referring to his experience as U.S.
