But now he is stymied, because his war in Iraq has made his grand vision much less attainable, and strengthened the terrorists he abhors. He knows it, but will not publicly admit it. (Last week, when he started a long answer to a question from David Frost on al-Jazeera about Iraq's being "pretty much of a disaster" with the apparent agreement, "It has," his spokesman said no admission was intended.)

A far greater sin than showing off my arms would be to fail to confront the tenets of my religion which repel me. But even sadder than those who are compelled to wear the hijab by social or cultural pressure are those...
Unlike Drake and the rest of the College administration, we should not let pride blind us to the train wreck that will likely occur on Saturday. We should at least admit that the College and the BPD have done a positively embarrassing job by neutering one of the great traditions in American collegiate sports...
