...sounded, stretching its advantage to as much as 25 points. Losing the final game of the season, the Crimson could not send its four seniors a proper farewell. Franklin, captain Maureen McCaffery, and guards Laura Robinson and Jessica Holsey all saw their final action last night in a meancholy defeat. McCaffery tallied only three points to go with four rebounds, the gritty team leader Robinson wound up with four points and two assists, while Holsey, who has been hampered by injuries all season, was limited to only one minute of action. “It was a hard loss...

Iran recently removed the IAEA inspectors, and thus Iran is in gross violation of the treaty. Some might...
...destiny through politics rather than murder and that civil war is still avoidable. We know that the enemies of democracy in Iraq will not stop there if they succeed. And we know that no perfect war has ever been fought, and no victory ever won, without the risk of defeat. Despair, in other words, is too easy now. And it too is a form of irresponsibility...
