...bill, has more personal experience with this issue than most politicians; his son is a Marine who has served in Iraq. However, Webb's proposal is not a humanitarian act: It is part of a political strategy. Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid said that the plan is not a "backdoor" method for reducing the American troop presence in Iraq, but that's exactly what it is. The only way to give soldiers and Marines more time in the U.S. is to reduce the total number of troops in Iraq at any given time. American troops have not being sent...
...scenes reminiscent of Britain's infamous trade of stolen gadgets in pubs, furtive traders today knock at the backdoor of upscale restaurants offering a new contraband: caviar. London's hordes of Russian oligarchs and hedge-fund yuppies have sent demand soaring for "black gold," with top varieties such as Beluga now selling for over $3,000 a kilo, whilst the rarest varieties, such as Almas ($50,000 per kilo), whose eggs are white, have a four-year waiting list.

A trip to the Final Four perhaps? Georgetown's offense has clicked, with Thompson expertly mixing finesse with freedom. For example, before Green's game winner against Vandy, Thompson gave the NBA-bound Big East MVP spare instructions: Quickly look for Patrick Ewing...
...countries. And there they were, in the second period, with the score knotted at 1, flashing across the ice, thrilling the assembled crowd, putting pucks in the net. First, Dartmouth, on the power play, Parsons, Weatherston, and Apps, in that order, bing-bang-boom. Three stars, two passes, one backdoor cut, and a 2-1 lead before most of the 1,211 or Harvard goalie Brittany Martin could react.Then, on a 5-on-3, the Crimson experts picking apart the undermanned defense. Chu to Cahow at the point, down to Katie Johnston in the slot, quick shot and in. Wait...
