Libertarians and communitarians (to continue this unjustified generalizing) are different character types. Communitarians tend to be bossy, boring and self-important, if they're not being oversweetened and touchy-feely. Libertarians, by contrast, are not the selfish monsters you might expect. They are earnest and impractical--eager to corner you with their plan for using old refrigerators to reverse global warming or solving the traffic mess by privatizing stoplights. And if you disagree, they're fine with that. It's a free country...
...area businesses. There's a biotech exec from Manhattan, an aerospace guy from Long Island, the head of a jewelry firm in New Jersey, a manufacturer of architectural lighting--all of them members of the Young Presidents' Organization (YPO), an international fraternity of business leaders who have won their corner offices by age 45.

It was not, however, good news across the board for the Crimson freshmen. First-year defender Chris Huxley had a pass intercepted at his own blue line...
...coach John Kerr added. SWITCHING THE FIELD With 15 minutes remaining, and the Crimson trailing, 2-1, Kerr moved defenseman Kwaku Nyamekye up to forward, hoping that he could provide the extra push needed to get the equalizer. Nyamekye did not disappoint, scoring off Fucito’s corner kick in the final seven minutes. “Whenever we move Kwaku up, we feel a little bit more of a sense of urgency,” Hoff said. “Having a big guy like that up there is just a huge presence.” Sophomore Andre?...
