...response also gave me a unique burden to bear this summer. Off to DC and miles away from The Crimson's fortress where students for-sake Friday night gatherings to take surveys and write articles about the inept social scene, my excuse no longer applied. I was heading to a land where five o'clock meant the start of happy hour, not the deadline for a problem set, to a land where well built frat boys had to wear suits and ties, to a land where the interns roamed free (and you know what they say about interns...
...York's Long Island. Wherever the team went in those days, the hero that girls sought out was Hamm, now 27, whose speed and finesse still give defenders the shakes. As the team's best known player--a distaff version of Michael Jordan--she had the burden of not only scoring goals but also being Miss Publicity. A self-described emotional child from a military family who lost an older brother to a rare blood disease (and still wears his initials on her soccer shoes), Hamm found the soccer field a perfect outlet for her inner fire.

...Times reports that the administration plans a series of small measures in the coming weeks designed to ease the burden of the U.S. embargo on ordinary Cubans and foster greater interaction with Americans, such as relaxing restrictions on travel, money transfers and the sale and donation of medicines.

Honduran and Nicaraguan urban shanty dwellers were more vulnerable to the flooding caused by Hurricane Mitch than were their middle-class neighbors, while the burden of last year?s harsh Northern Hemisphere winter was heaviest for the 44 million Russians who live in poverty. "Even greater calamities are looming on the horizon, and the global impact of problems such as disease make it unwise for the U.S. to ignore," says Dowell. "Unfortunately, we?ve tended to break...
...Serbian aggression, are sure to look to the K.L.A. for protection. The peace pact calls for the "demilitarization" of the K.L.A.--but not for its disarming. So the rebels will keep their small arms, the tools of choice for guerrilla fighters. Meanwhile, the U.N. will shoulder the heavy burden of setting up a Kosovar police force. Its first challenge will be to stamp out the K.L.A.'s revolutionary zeal. Albright labored to assure the 200,000 Serbs in Kosovo that the K.L.A. had pledged not to do them harm, but it was apparent that most Serbs did not believe...
