...with mixed success as it challenged Cornell and Columbia this past weekend. The Crimson had its 32-match Ivy League winning streak snapped with a 5-2 loss to Cornell on Friday—its first defeat to the Big Red in program history—but assuaged this bitter defeat the following day with a taste of victory against the Lions, 6-1, earning its first Ivy League win of the season. Nationally-ranked Penn and Princeton come to town to face Harvard at the Murr Center this weekend, as the Crimson hopes to begin another long-lasting...
...lady. It is paralyzed by the fear of what it could lose." Jacques Deguest puts it even more bluntly. He's a friend of Cellot's who moved to Tokyo in 2001 after a web-hosting company he started in France collapsed in the dotcom crash.

But even the most Solomonic judgment may not be enough to repair the bitter rift between the two democratically elected branches of Ukraine's fractured government and set the country on a clear and peaceful course...

Bush appointee David Souter slid left before the case was decided by a 5-4 vote in 1992. The shifts could also mean we can tone down the bitter battles over court nominees. Justice Rehnquist's 1986 nomination as Chief Justice might have irked Democrats less had they foreseen what the study calculates as his tilt toward moderation by 2003, a year in which he voted to reverse a death sentence. And now that we realize how fluid judicial...
