Liberty fielders committed five errors and Flame pitchers threw a pair of wild pitches in crucial situations, miscues that permitted Harvard to dispatch its opponent swiftly...
...stretches a taut U.S. military, but not to the breaking point. Pentagon officials are confident they can handle Haiti, but with 120,000 U.S. troops in Iraq and an additional 11,000 on the ground in Afghanistan, the Bush Administration--particularly in an election year--isn't likely to dispatch more than a few thousand to Haiti for much longer than the three months mandated by the U.N. last week.

...deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphics. Rosetta is an ambitious and technically challenging mission. It will not be easy to keep a rendezvous in 2014 with a comet tearing through space near Jupiter. The 165-kg-payload orbiter is to chase, circle and remotely study the comet, as well as dispatch a 100-kg lander onto its surface for closer analysis.

In early 2014, Rosetta should be approaching the comet, having received slingshotlike "gravity...

Democrats complain that they had been duped, and in private some Republicans say they feel the same. Ohio Senator Mike DeWine, a Republican on the Intelligence Committee, told the Columbus Dispatch that he was not sure he would vote to authorize war with Iraq if he had to do it all over again.
