A season after losing consensus All-American Mike Clare ’01, the Crimson graduated four starters from last year’s championship line, all of whom had received All-Ivy recognition.

In order to achieve consensus at the Security Council, the Bush administration has undertaken to discuss the matter first with the Council before marching off to war. However, the Administration has also made clear that it won't be bound by the outcome of such a discussion, and reserves the right to take military action without a further UN resolution if the Security Council finds Iraq in breach of its obligations...
