Ballard liked to think of his books as radical, "a desperate attempt to prove ... that two and two made five in the moral arithmetic of the 1960s." Many critics preferred old-fashioned math, though, and by the time of Crash, his 1973 tale of erotic pleasures amid the carnage of car wrecks, even his own publisher's view was that "this author is beyond psychiatric help." As if to prove that a new moral compass was at work in inner space, Ballard's book attracted little controversy until 23 years later, when the shock-horror director David Cronenberg brought Crash...
...Crimson got on the scoreboard early. Seven minutes into the first period, senior forward Mike Taylor ripped a shot from the left circle. The co-captain’s attempt was blocked, but freshman forward Matt McCollem poked the rebound in for his fourth goal in six games. Taylor’s assist marked his seventh straight game with a point...

The comeback was short-lived—Finelli sank a jumper to end a three minute dry spell for Harvard, starting...
...long, highly extravagant foreign tours to publicize his book or beg for more aid are hardly helpful in fighting terrorism. Musharraf’s political ambitions have led to many serious lapses and failures in the War on Terror: Rashid Rauf, a high profile terrorist involved in a failed attempt to blow up transatlantic planes, escaped from Pakistani police custody. Militants have been capturing forts and have intercepted NATO’s supplies. A radical mosque built up a brigade of terrorists adjacent to the Pakistan Intelligence’s building in Islamabad, the capital. The intelligence agencies...
