...receive a better education than you could anywhere else. I guess the education I get inside the classroom is okay, too.So that’s why I decided to stay, because even in my most cynical moments, while lost in the stacks of Widener or trapped in the perpetual daylight of The Crimson basement, I realized that I still had a lot of learning to do. Because, frankly, at whatever college you choose, classes will sometimes be difficult, parties will sometimes be lame, and hearts will sometimes be broken. But when hearts break—whether over romantic situations, disappointing...
...deadliest since the beginning of the occupation, it was nevertheless among the most distressing. Amid grinding combat between U.S. forces and the insurgency, a surge in kidnappings and decapitations has infused the conflict with a new dimension of terror. Two American contractors pulled from their home in broad daylight early last month were shown on Islamic websites being beheaded by militants loyal to al-Qaeda kingpin Abu Mousab al-Zarqawi. Their British colleague faced a similar fate. Two Italian women taken four weeks ago were also reportedly executed, though Rome would not confirm the claims. Ten employees of an Iraqi...
...Burke, the former Interior Ministry adviser, Jabr was at least indirectly responsible for the deaths of hundreds of military-age Sunni men whose bodies have turned up at the sewage plant in southeast Baghdad since late December.

Mexicans are well aware that it is the U.S.’s sovereign right to enforce its laws; these immigrants continue to cross only because they have no other choice. Nevertheless...
...Brian Darcy dumped in a jump hook as the shot clock expired to widen the advantage to four, but then Collins took control. Double-teamed on the wing, with Yada literally draped over his back and Beal hounding him from the front, Collins leaned in for a sliver of daylight and knocked down the off-balance three. Junior guard Jim Goffredo drew a foul and hit two free throws on the other end, putting the Crimson back up 77-74. However, Collins got the ball again from the same spot on the floor, and this time got a better look...
