...centrifugal forces that will tear this coalition apart have come into full view," wrote the left-wing Berlin daily Tageszeitung. "Müntefering's retreat from politics is coming at a particularly bad time," added Die Welt, a center-right daily. "Müntefering was the most effective anchor keeping the SPD from drifting to the left. Now the Grand Coalition will no longer concentrate on their similarities but on the election campaign." The government, of course, will continue to govern. But the best chances for agreement on important economic issues may have left the room with Franz...
...What do you think of Katie Couric on CBS? -Christina Paschyn, Cleveland Katie, God bless her, was the first woman to go out there and become a solo anchor. It's not worked out as well as she would have liked it to. That's the result of a combination of issues. [But] we have female ceos, females in the Senate and a prominent female running for President.

...captains Ludwick and senior Michael Byrd. Goal-scoring threats Livingston, sophomore Egen Atkinson and freshman Bret Voith add to the offensive firepower. Junior netminder Jay Connolly, who recorded 15 saves against Brown—a potential second round opponent in the Northern Championships—has been the anchor for the defense all year. The roster, solid from top to bottom, has augmented the team’s confidence. Confidence will be in high demand if the Crimson looks to advance past the semifinals. Last year, Harvard lost to 9-4 to Brown in the semifinals of the Northern Championships...
