...Harvard men’s basketball team will open its season this weekend under the California sun facing a formidable triple threat of non conference teams at Stanford’s Basketball Traveler’s Classic in Palo Alto...
...classic Clinton. And having watched both Clintons for nearly 20 years now, I believe it is an honest summation of what they think they're about: "Getting stuff done," as Bill Clinton used to say. That means being flagrantly political, working the system, making the compromises necessary to get the best deal possible to enact their priorities.

Despite the rain outside, spirits ran high on the bus ride...

The few PKK bases near the Turkish border are also difficult to reach, located long distances on single-track dirt roads high in classic insurgency country. One camp that's home to some 300 fighters in a ravine carved by the cold blue waters of the lower Khabour river looked like a beautiful place for an invading army to die. Turkish incursions into northern Iraq are unlikely to have much effect on either...
