...home team in the 2008 Ivy opener at Lavietes. Harvard got its revenge in Hanover just three weeks later, but this time around, the matchup will be about far more than bragging rights.Frontcourt play takes center stage in any of the three potential matchups: Cornell, Dartmouth, and Harvard boast talented forwards in Maduka, Brittany Smith, and Katie Rollins, respectively. Yet the Crimson knows all too well that doubling down low means leaving shooters open. Big Green sharpshooters Koren Schram and Kristen Craft combined for six three-pointers in Dartmouth’s upset in Cambridge, while Big Red guard Lauren...
...that “If I could add only one person to the faculty, Cass would be that person.” Sunstein’s appointment is truly a boon to the law school and the Harvard community, yet it is only one of the accomplishments Kagan can boast during her tenure as dean. This latest success is an encouraging sign of the degree to which Kagan has thoroughly revitalized the law school.

Nor does it sound like the too-hard attempt of a reactionary gangsta. It sounds like the opening couplet from any old revered ’80s true-school rapper, run through a raw Dirty South filter. Between albums like this, the canonization of Scarface...
...soil with the American war on terror. The suicide attacks against police, the military, government ministers and moderate leaders are not seen as attacks on Pakistan, but as a reaction to American adventurism in the region. There was a time in the 1950s and '60s when Pakistanis would proudly boast that they were America's 51st state. No longer. American support for Israel, the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan and increasing tensions with Iran are taken as proof that the U.S. is following an anti-Islamic agenda. Pakistanis point out that before Musharraf dragged Pakistan into America...
