...Crimson worked quickly and effectively, mixing the run and pass well to move up to the Crusaders’ 46. From nearly the same spot where Randolph had just seemingly crushed Harvard’s aspirations for victory, Winters reached back to God knows where and unloaded a bomb down the right sideline. Junior receiver Chris Lorditch—Winters’ favorite target on the day, with nine receptions for 89 yards—turned on the burners and chased the pass down, pulling it in for a touchdown to bring the score to 27-20.The Crimson defense quickly...
...down. There is, however, one enormous material fact on the ground that has changed since the North first agreed to stop developing nukes in 1994: it now has several nuclear weapons, made via its plutonium program in interim years, and recently admitted that it's close to having a bomb triggered by highly enriched uranium as well. (Indeed, North Korean refugee groups in Seoul have recently been circulating reports - impossible to verify, of course - that the North plans a uranium bomb test this autumn.) The Administration will no doubt give negotiations the old college try, one on one, just like...
...complaining that we’d seen too many episodes that year. But by keeping this pace, they’ve racked up one hundred to date. American sitcoms are on growth hormones, and the results aren’t always pretty. In particular, the ticking time bomb strapped to “The Office” has always been the development of Jim and Pam’s relationship.

...presumed end to a seven-year campaign to nab Noordin is rightly being celebrated among Indonesian anti-terror forces, who have already netted more than a dozen other high-profile suspects in connection with the latest hotel bombings. The captures aren't a one-off occurrence. Four years ago, Indonesian commandoes killed Azahari bin Husin, the key bomb-maker for Jemaah Islamiah (JI), the extremist network that has as its stated goal the creation of a pan-Asian Islamic caliphate. Noordin is suspected of having been a central JI strategist before forming an even more radical, al-Qaeda-linked offshoot...
...Still, Berlusconi's almost instant reference to a possible troop pullout was the centerpiece of a day of impassioned, often contradictory reactions from the highest levels of the Italian government. It followed the nation's worst day of military casualties since a November 2003 car-bomb attack in Nasiriyah, in southern Iraq, killed 19 Italian soldiers. That death toll was cited when Italy eventually pulled out of Iraq in 2006, but at the time of the Nasiriyah attack, Berlusconi held firm to Italy's military commitment and ironclad alliance with then U.S. President George W. Bush. (See Berlusconi's worst...
