...electricity and tenacity. Eight minutes into the second half, freshman forward Hana Peljto rejected a shot and, when the Huskies recovered the loose ball, used her wingspan to force the next shot off its mark. Before her defensive hustle could be applauded, however, she raced down court to calmly collect a feed and bank a five-foot jumper...
...rationale of the conservatives is that it's in our national interest to start selling arms to these countries, which will create jobs in the arms industry, and also to collect old Soviet debts. But this is futile and stupid. Russia is not the superpower that the Soviet Union once was, and this policy can be counterproductive. We're not going to collect all the money Putin hopes to collect. Countries such as Iran and Iraq won't pay cash up front; they'll probably barter oil, which will ultimately enrich privately owned oil companies in Russia...
...endowment is earmarked for the council. Zero. I do not (necessarily) blame the Harvard administration for this. Much of the endowment is in the form of restricted funds. But, I still shudder when I hear that the Undergraduate Council of the richest university in the United States has to collect "ePloids" from Frito-Lay bags in order to replace its 10-year-old computer. Was I the only one who found it hard to swallow that the monitor on the council's computer required a paper clip to turn...

They went so far as to manufacture physical evidence, to collude with other parents to present erroneous facts with a straight face, even to threaten punishment if I were to collect data that might jeopardize the believability of their prevarication. At an age before I knew to be ever vigilant and to mistrust paternalism in all forms, my parents were using their near total power over my life and surroundings to inculcate a belief in something utterly false and, even more disturbingly...
...large, though, the law is messy and outdated. In Texas a 1985 statute allows wrongly imprisoned people to collect as much as $25,000 in compensation for pain and suffering. That works out to slightly less than $6 a day for the 12 years Kevin Byrd spent in prison for a crime he didn't commit. The state agreed to pay it in May 1999, but Byrd has yet to see any money. In Texas, officials in the Attorney General's office say the state legislature needs to meet in order to appropriate funds to pay Byrd--but it still...
