Injuries continued to take a toll on the wounded Crimson wrestling team yesterday against Boston University. In action at the Malkin Athletic Center for its third match in a six-match home stand, Harvard had to cope with the lack of freshman Corey Jantzen, junior Andrew Flanagan, and senior co-captain Robbie Preston due to injury. Unable to field anyone for the 133 lb. and 144 lb. weight classes, the Crimson faced a 12-point disadvantage from the onset of the match but came back to end the meet on a tie with the Terriers...

Official media say plants that produce 10% of China's power are now reduced to less than three days of coal reserves.

Looking for an alternative to after-work beers, Siddiqui founded the City Circle, a lecture and charity group aimed at Muslim professionals. On Friday nights, well-heeled Muslims come straight from their offices...
...state of Muslims in Gaza and Kashmir that spurred Suterwalla to become a barrister - and such instincts can, of course, curdle into resentment, even radicalism. "I'm trying to make a difference in a positive way," says Suterwalla. "But there are those who don't know how to cope with it, when they see what's going on in the news." Radicalized fellow Muslims think he's fooling himself by tackling injustice through the courts. "They tell me, 'You're working within the system that is not compatible with Islam,'" he says. "Even some very well-educated people are attracted...
