...undergraduates, for the first time in our lifetimes, a horse will win the Triple Crown. Smarty Jones is far and away the best horse in the field. I have watched every Kentucky Derby and Preakness since 1988 (OK, I missed the 1993 Preakness on account of a torrid love affair with a woman named Veronique in Buenos Aires).

...coalition soldiers physically abusing Iraqi prisoners fueled Arab rage and became, fairly or not, symbols of the much-resented U.S. occupation of Iraq. President Bush expressed a "deep disgust" with the crimes and vowed that those responsible would be brought to justice. Six soldiers face courts-martial over the affair, and the officer in charge of the prison, Brigadier General Janis Karpinski, has been suspended. Attorneys for the accused say their clients were only following orders to soften up the prisoners for interrogation and that the guards are being made scapegoats. Major General Geoffrey Miller, the former head of operations...
