...memorized talking points, rather than a substantive debate in which the merits of ideas can truly be tested. It seems a shame, therefore, that this same flexibility will not characterize the vice-presidential debate, in which Senator Joe Biden will face off against Governor Sarah Palin. Unlike its presidential counterpart, the much-anticipated Biden-Palin showdown will be constrained by a more restrictive format that leaves little time for questions or interactions between debaters. Even more troubling than the curtailed structure is that the McCain campaign has publicly admitted to insisting upon such a format in an attempt to hide...
...month later, New Delhi's fears have been calmed - if not fully dispelled. During a five-day trip to India in September, the Nepali Prime Minister warmly embraced his Indian counterpart, Manmohan Singh, stressing that good relations with India were "vital" for Nepal's future and downplaying his earlier Chinese visit as merely a happy opportunity to witness the greatest show on earth...
...playing time in the second half.IONA 15, HARVARD 10In its best effort of the weekend, Harvard challenged the Gaels (5-8) throughout the contest, spotting the visitors a slim 6-4 advantage at the half.

But he had the moral lucidity to write passionately and unequivocally about the definitive issue of his time: the unmitigated evils of totalitarianism, in both right and left-wing guises. Solzhenitsyn, too, earned...
...Among the fans taking their seats for the game in the Armenian capital will be Turkey's President Abdullah Gul and his Armenian counterpart, Serzh Sarkisian. Gul's visit is the first ever by a Turkish head of state to Armenia, and it is being heralded as a potential breakthrough in efforts to normalize relations between the traditional adversaries. Their common border was sealed in 1993 as the two countries found themselves supporting opposite sides in the conflict between Azerbaijan and its breakaway region of Nagorno-Karabakh, and they have never enjoyed diplomatic relations...
