U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell and British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw released a statement decrying the killings and admonishing Pakistan to respect Kashmir's de facto border. But years of international pressure have failed to help resolve the Kashmir issue; local efforts are faring no better. On March 22, Abdul Majid...
...Blue Devils (7-3) took an early 3-0 lead against the Crimson, which got on the scoreboard with freshman attack Colin Macleod’s goal at 3:24, yet still trailed 6-1 at the intermission...
