...last time the Dominican Republic's right-wing army and leftist rebels tried to exterminate each other, President Hector Garcia-Godoy managed to stop them only by ordering the leaders of both sides to accept diplomatic assignments abroad. That was only a month ago, but last week they were at it again.

If Barnes can work out an agreement to accept the Ivies without written compliance, both the Ivy institutional autonomy will remain intact, and the NCAA standards will be upheld. The NCAA's final decision will become apparent in early March when the Ivy basketball champion is scheduled to play in the Eastern regional playoffs...
