Dawson also continued his forceful assault on the Harvard and Ivy League record books. His performance against Brown marked the 15th time in 21 career games that he has rushed for over 100 yards, and the 10th time for over 150 yards. With 342 yards so far this season, he is just 242 yards out of second place on the Crimson’s all-time rushing leaders list, and a mere 517 out of first place...
...lately become little more than a buzz word with, thankfully, diminishing rhetorical impact. Women’s center advocates would better serve their cause by stressing the one legitimate role that the space could play: as a place to centralize resources for women, such as the Office of Sexual Assault Prevention and Response. Still, these resources could easily be gathered together without a formal women’s center to house them. If RUS cared as much about consolidating these resources as it does about securing a new women’s center, then they would push for this step...
...offensive in Tall 'Afar, which wound down last week, was this year's Fallujah--a mass assault involving 7,000 U.S. and Iraqi soldiers and hundreds of Bradleys, battle tanks, artillery pieces, all combined with AC-130 Spectre gunships, F-16 fighter jets and attack helicopters. Unlike the Fallujah battle, Tall 'Afar raged mostly unseen, with accounts of the fighting limited largely to the reports of U.S. and Iraqi officials in Baghdad, who declared that the onslaught had succeeded in driving out the bands of rebels--local units commanded by al-Qaeda kingpin Abu Mousab al-Zarqawi--from their latest...
...assurances from military commanders that the battle will be a decisive success. The wait leaves the troops embittered, their momentum lost to what they see as political calculations. "This is turning into a goat f___," bemoans an angry Green Beret. By the time al-Jaafari approves the dreaded assault into al-Qaeda's heartland, it fizzles. Not a hostile shot is fired, not a single enemy fighter is found. Safe houses and weapons caches are empty, cleansed like an operating room. Only one blackened corpse, left rotting for days, is found. "They've even removed their dead," said a Green...
...forced to fight there again--with the insurgents betting that the Americans will lose a bit more of their will and support each time they go back. In a house overrun during the battle, a newspaper sits in a living room, its pages brimming with pictures of a U.S. assault in the city. Dated Sept. 2-10, the report could have been an account of this month's battle, but it isn't. It is already a year old. --With reporting by Sally B. Donnelly/Washington
