...government of Gaza is led by Hamas, whose charter calls for the elimination of Israel. Since its withdrawal from Gaza, Israel has been the target of hundreds of rockets fired by Hamas. Maybe the Palestinians should consider a nonterrorist government to lead them to peace. Bruce S. Cooper Columbia, Maryland...
Facial symmetry appeals to us too. Dick Cheney's least trustworthy feature is easily his smile, a lopsided thing that makes him look as if half his face is pleased with something while the other half is paying bills. Research at Columbia University revealed that when some people see fleeting, subliminally projected images of fearful faces, their brain's fright center lights up. If fear is infectious, perhaps a dishonest face makes us feel similarly slippery or a surly face leaves us feeling sour--hardly what politicians want to stir up in voters...
Apparently, someone forgot to tell the Columbia women’s soccer team that Lions aren’t supposed to win championships. In action Saturday at Ohiri Field, Harvard (3-13-1, 2-5-0 Ivy) played evenly with the Lions for most of the game but ultimately could not stop the Columbia Lions (10-4-3, 6-0-1) from winning their first Ivy League championship and first women’s title in any sport other than fencing and cross country.

Needing a single win to clinch the league crown, the Harvard men’s soccer team (13-4-0, 6-1-0 Ivy) beat Columbia 3-1 on Ohiri Field, maintaining its half-game advantage in the standings over Penn.

Paced by sensational freshman Andre Akpan and two starters...
...wasn’t 173 yards, but it was enough to get the job done. Senior running back Clifton Dawson moved 120 yards closer to Ed Marinaro's all-time Ivy League career rushing mark and scored two touchdowns as Harvard (7-1, 4-1 Ivy) beat Columbia (3-5, 0-5 Ivy) 24-7 in front of 11,716 fans on Saturday afternoon at Harvard Stadium. A much improved Lion defense appeared to have recovered from a 55-7 pounding at the hands of the Crimson a year ago, as it held Harvard to a tie for its lowest...
