...Nadia reminds me of my father and in that sense she reminds me of me. My father spent his career fighting the Cold War, he joined the army when he was 19, went to Vietnam. His whole life was shaped by that arc in American politics. He's exceptionally liberal but in the military, but is a humanitarian and patriot who believes in humane intervention, in helping, that's what you do. Nadia is a person not afraid to say 'I care about the world to do something, and I care enough to be ostracized.' She's very much alone...
...second half of its last outing, a win over Quinnipiac, Colgate caught fire, shooting 63 percent from the floor, up from its season average of 48 percent. The Raiders were led by junior Daniel Waddy, who netted a career-high 27 points, including two buckets from beyond the arc. Captain Jon Simon chipped in too, adding three treys as part of 19 points. Luckily for Harvard, its roster also includes a sharp-shooting captain who can be deadly from downtown. Goffredo has already racked up 17 threes on the young season, the most important of which came with...
...occurred amid the setup for the "rocket hop," a stunt in which the whale virtually catapults its trainer into the air from an underwater start, allowing the human to make a spectacular arc through the air before diving into the pool.

Only Peters' cool ministrations to Kasatka and his fellow trainers' use of hand signals and underwater sounds prevented tragedy as a large audience watched...

With the score tied at 78 and a minute and a half left in overtime, Wildcats guard Jermaine Anderson pulled up at the top of the key, several feet beyond the arc, and buried the three to ignite the suprisingly vocal 642 fans in attendance and give New Hampshire an 81-78 lead. The Crimson did not panic, and the two most experienced Harvard players on the court, Goffredo and senior center Brian Cusworth, executed the two-man game brilliantly. Guarded...
...signatories to intervene to prevent genocide where it is occurring or preparing to occur, more often than not the world has declined to do so. And no one seriously believes that if widespread genocide unfolded in Iraq that the U.S. would be able to do anything about it. "The arc of humanitarian intervention has already been killed by Iraq for at least a generation," says Power. The clearest example of that is in Sudan. The United States has declared that genocide against the inhabitants of the Darfur region is under way, but there is no indication of possible military...
