...bottom to the top in one year, something big has to change. That something big was 6’10” super-recruit Andrew Van Nest. Unfortunately for the Crimson, the hopes the big man brought were for naught, as the power forward from Weston, Mass., is done for the year. Last week, the freshman suffered a shoulder injury, which will require season-ending surgery. Due to Ivy League rules, he does not have the option of red-shirting, so Van Nest will only have three years to showcase his skills on the court for the Crimson...

...Looking south, the U.S. must remember Latin America, which the Bush administration decided to forget well before 9/11. In those latitudes, the “missing neighbor” policy has only relinquished influence to populist leaders such as Venezuela’s Hugo Chávez, who have done more harm than good with their neo-socialist mirages. In the region, Obama should actively support democratic, liberal, and free-trading leaders, which will hopefully bring about democratic stability and decreased anti-Americanism...
