...conference record essentially precludes any possibility of an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament. The Crimson had made it to the NCAA Tournament five seasons in a row. “Everybody can say that we left everything out there, there’s no doubt about that,” senior goaltender Justin Tobe said. “But in the end, we weren’t able to get a few bounces.” “We battled really hard, one of our best games on the year,” captain Dylan Reese added...
...were scorned and warehoused in decrepit VA hospitals--a mistake Americans don't want repeated. Some of us may feel guilty now for cheering on the invasion only to later lose faith in the war, leaving the troops to deal with the calamitous aftermath.

...also surrendered some of the moral high ground last week when he publicly expressed doubt that the Japanese military during World War II had coerced citizens of occupied countries into becoming "comfort women," a euphemism for sex slaves. Though Abe's aides scrambled to downplay his statement, he announced today that his government would assist a group of right-wing Japanese lawmakers in their efforts to reinvestigate the comfort women issue - which could be the first move in overturning a 1993 government apology on the subject. That Japan's Prime Minister is seen as calling on North Korea to come...
