...still shines (albeit with a smidgen of cloud cover) on the 2007 campaign, and Harvard now has the tools at its disposal to make a serious run at the NCAA tournament. Now, I’m not suggesting that Harvard completely forget about its Ivy League pursuits, as it would be imprudent to give up a potential trophy that’s still well within reach.

...According to ANC custom, the leadership contest would occur behind closed doors, with the leadership maintaining a united front in public. This time, it's anything but. The two rivals and their supporters have been tearing into each other via the newspapers - albeit via anonymous leaks - for years. And then there were the two 2005 court cases that gave Mbeki cause to fire a man who had become increasingly vocal in his criticism, from the left, of the direction of the ANC government. The corruption charges relating to an arms contract were later withdrawn, and he was cleared...
