...crazy and hyper and try to get into a swim meet with them, it could get ugly. The way to beat Princeton is to beat them 5-4 not 10-9.” Princeton’s speed enables them to create many opportunities off of counters, something the Crimson will be working hard to prevent. “The biggest thing is ball control because they are basically a counter-based team,” junior co-captain Mike Garcia said. “If we play ball control it takes away their strong suit.

...even sharper conflict is being stoked by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, an advocate of what he calls "21st century socialism." Chavez has come to the summit vowing to "bury" the FTAA, and he's even attending a counter summit of protestors opposing free trade. Indeed, thousands of demonstrators marched through the streets of Mar del Plata for the summit, far out of earshot, let alone sight, of the Sheraton Hotel where Mr. Bush is staying and holding many of his meetings. When I asked Bush at a quick press availability about how Americans should think of Chavez and what...
