...which took him all the way to Harvard. There are only two skaters shorter than Kevin, who is 5’9, on this year’s Crimson, and just three lighter than his 175 pounds. But in a game that often prizes physicality and brute strength, Du has made a living with his speed, slippery moves, and impressive durability in the face of looming opponents. His offensive numbers have crept steadily upward—from 10 points as a rookie and 20 as a sophomore to 33 his junior campaign—and he was named...

...While brute reality has forced the U.S. to use diplomacy abroad, the President's swaggering arrogance is still alive and well at home. Bush ignores established law and subverts congressional legislation with signing statements. I half expected to hear him repeat his famous words "Bring 'em on" in response to the recent attempts, however feeble, by Congress and the courts to rein in his power...
