To clarify: the title is excerpted from Act 1 of Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost. The full quote goes: "Light, seeking light, doth light of light beguile; So ere you find where light in darkness lies, Your light grows dark by losing of your eyes." It's a warning against spending too much of your life in scholarly pursuits.

The Lighter Side of Lebanon
Assassinations, economic warfare, political infighting, religious radical manifestos, border conflicts with Israel. The news out of Lebanon might lead you to believe that it is a place of unrelenting gloom and fear. But the Lebanese are party people and life goes on. Check out these pictures, published in YaLibnan, of last month's independence party in Byblos. Not a Burkha in sight.
Reminder to all -- the Middle East is a very, very complex place.
