...tradition, it’s unlikely that anyone will make his or her intentions known until the last minute.That said, UC tradition won’t count for much else in this election. The patterns of succession that guided the Council for the last five years or so have broken down, and with no clear heir to the throne in sight, a crop of relatively inexperienced young politicos are going to try to rewrite the rules. In short, the big ticket is up for grabs, and for the first time in years, there are barely enough UC veterans...
...season has been one of streaks. The defense has played spectacularly the whole way, save one hiccup against Duke. But coming into Sunday’s Ivy matchup against Cornell, the Crimson had also lost four consecutive games. Unfortunately for Harvard, the latter streak wasn’t broken in Ithaca, N.Y. The Big Red (6-4, 4-1 Ivy) downed the Crimson (5-6, 1-2) 2-1 on Sunday afternoon as Harvard found itself on the wrong side of another close contest. Five of the team’s six losses this year have come by one-goal...

"We are not begging, sir, we are not begging," one protester says, with the look of a man who hasn't slept for days...
...barely stand at odd angles, missing walls from which crumbling rock and debris poured down. An entire row of shops has lost its front, as though sliced off by a blunt cheese wire, and bars of Lux soap, pastries and plastic toys spill out onto the street. We pass broken villages and military camps, including an artillery battery swamped by a mudslide, still vainly pointing toward Pakistan 10 miles away. There are three or four checkpoints. Then a landslide announces the end of the road and an end to any visible relief effort. We leave our driver and are confronted...
