PROVIDENCE, Rhode Island – Kevin Roose managed to blend in during his single semester at Liberty University, the conservative Christian college. He attended lectures on the myth of evolution and the sin of homosexuality, and joined fellow students on a mission trip to evangelize partyers on spring break.
Roose had transferred to the Virginia campus from Brown University in Providence, a famously liberal member of the Ivy League. His Liberty classmates knew about the switch, but he kept something more important hidden: He planned to write a book about his experience at the school founded by fundamentalist preacher Jerry Falwell.

Establishing peaceful relations between Israel and its Arab neighbors has been a goal of U.S. presidents since the modern Jewish state was established in 1948. While President Trump made important progress, it will soon fall to President-elect Joe Biden to build on that success. This won’t be an easy task.
When Trump entered office, the only Arab nations with diplomatic relations with Israel were Egypt and Jordan. Trump succeeded in brokering agreements normalizing relations and paving the way for diplomatic recognition between Israel and four more Arab states the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco. But much to his disappointment, he failed in his efforts to get the Palestinians and oil-rich Saudi Arabia to sign peace agreements with Israel.
