...Michael Crowley of the New Republic recently observed that the McCain campaign was the most sarcastic in memory. He's right: sarcasm comes naturally to the fighter jock. He disdains all those - his colleagues in the Senate, his political opponents - who aren't as courageous as he thinks he is. But McCain has proved a selective maverick, surrounded by special-interest lobbyists who shape his foreign and fiscal policies. In fact, I suspect that this year's McCain is closer to the real thing than the noble 2000 version. This one is congenitally dark, the opposite of Reagan - not confident...
...second period after Fehr’s second goal of the afternoon. But, with 5:14 left in the period, Stony Brook capitalized on a Harvard penalty, and after calling a timeout, snuck a ball into the Crimson goal. With 2:35 left in the half, freshman midfielder Kevin Crowley tied the game at 4-4. After the Crimson controlled the third period, Stony Brook did not go away quietly. Rather, the team scrambled to put two more goals together after Motschwiller—Harvard’s second-leading scorer last year— posted his fourth goal...
...constrained by shortage of transportation assets," says Chris Crowley, USAID's mission director. "That's one of the key issues that we as a donor face - not having that overall comfort knowing how effective the resources are."

...modern, democratic Muslim nation. But they have had plenty of outside help. A succession of administrations in Washington have backed a series of wrong horses in Islamabad: military dictators like Musharraf or feudal aristocrats like Bhutto. "We have a bad habit of always personalizing our foreign policy," says P.J. Crowley, senior fellow at the Center for American Progress. Little effort has ever been made to look past individuals and encourage or engage with the institutions of Pakistani civil society. The most recent example of this neglect came last summer when Pakistani lawyers and judges protested Musharraf's summary sacking...
...Proliferation: It is "not a good idea to have 70 nuclear weapons in the hands of a country that is falling apart." Some observers believe that U.S. policy in Pakistan has favored personalities over principles. "We have a bad habit of always personalizing our foreign policy," says P.J. Crowley, senior fellow at the Center for American Progress. "We've done it with Musharraf, and we did it with respect to Bhutto. We are very good at providing technical support to the Pakistani army. We are not good at building indigenous or effective local political processes or strong institutions of government...
