...familiarity paid off this weekend. When the Tigers decided to go to a small lineup, and stick with their slow, boring, pass-heavy, backdoor offense, Sullivan did the same, going with four guards and a small forward for most of the second half. And while Sullivan did not deploy his bench at all—he calls playing Princeton a “learned experience”—he managed to use the clock and substitution well so that Harvard did outplay Princeton in the second half, despite coming up just short...
...side or the other of the Afghan border with Pakistan? Safe in Chechnya, Iran or even Saudi Arabia? The Pentagon has tabled plans to send additional U.S. troops to hunt in the mountains of Tora Bora. And there was never a chance that Pakistan would want the U.S. to deploy the troops necessary to seal off its 1,510-mile border with Afghanistan.

...Tenet was urging the President to make a huge leap of faith--to combat America's new enemy by waging a new kind of war. Tenet's plan: deploy CIA officers and special-ops commandos to aid Afghan opposition forces on the ground while warplanes drop bombs from the sky; collaborate with other intelligence services around the world to bust up terrorist cells with tips from the CIA's spies; and do it all without allowing a Vietnam-style gradual escalation of U.S. military involvement. This would be a war fought by others, with the U.S. role both obvious...
...draw up plans for throttling an array of militants from the Middle East to Africa to Asia. But the basic idea is to push friendly nations and those worried about self-preservation to take out terrorist hubs. Already, Pentagon officials tell Time, 100 U.S. special-ops commandos will deploy to train Philippine soldiers in counterterror and close-quarter battle tactics against the Abu Sayyaf insurgents who have ties to al-Qaeda. The U.S. military advisers won't engage in combat but will set up an "intelligence fusion center" to help clamp down on terrorist activities...
