...good counterexample might be commanding a wartime squadron during combat. However, as former NATO Supreme Allied Commander Wesley Clark recently pointed out, none of the current candidates can claim that experience. While valiant, Clark insisted on CBS’s Face the Nation, John McCain’s action in Vietnam did not demand the same type of “executive responsibility” that commanding a wartime squadron would have engendered. This is not to take anything away from McCain’s heroism; it is simply to say that experience is not the most pressing issue...
...recent data - records on pollen counts rarely go back more than 20 years - certainly would indicate that warming will only make things worse.

Junior goalie Nikhil Balaraman also shared the burden in goal, getting the start...
After a slow start, an injury-plagued Harvard men’s soccer team exploded into action yesterday, shutting out visiting Vermont (3-1-2, 0-0 America East), 3-0. The win marked the first home victory for the 2008 team, as well as the first win at Ohiri Field for the Crimson’s new head coach, Jamie Clark. Harvard (2-1-0) got goals from three different players during the matchup. Co-captain Mike Fucito, who leads the team in scoring, began the offensive action when he found the net in the 52nd minute...
