...walking through the Réserve Spéciale d'Analamazaotra, a few hours' drive west of Madagascar's capital of Antananarivo. The reserve is one of the few remaining patches of untouched forest on Madagascar, where more than 90% of the native tree cover has already been lost; chameleons, rare frogs and lemurs make their home here. It's late afternoon, and patches of early spring sunlight (this is the Southern Hemisphere) peek through the Ravenea louvelii, the native palm. Lemurs are sleeping this time of day, though, and a sleeping lemur is hard to spot. But then...
...elections, things aren’t so certain. Mocking or ignoring that uncertainty—rather than arguing forcefully against it, as Bill Clinton did 16 years ago—is usually neither a winning strategy nor an honorable one, and those who use it are as likely to drive voters from the polls as earn their votes. Candy for the partisan base draws readers to The Huffington Post, but it is not, on its own, an electoral strategy.As Bartlet said in one “West Wing” episode, the President of the United States is not just...

Instead, a fumble on the kick return gave the Crusaders the ball and set them up for a touchdown run, extending their lead to 24-12. With 9:21 left...
...only to be denied a touchdown and forced to settle for short, 29-yard field goals. Although junior kicker Patrick Long put the ball through the uprights with ease, settling for three after a first and goal from the four is hardly a satisfying cap to a lengthy drive. Trying to mix things up in the third quarter in the red zone, Murphy switched O’Hagan in behind center to try and cap off the eventual 64-yard drive with a touchdown. After running for eight yards on first down, O’Hagan dropped back and threw...
...reversal matched a more general change between the two contests, as the Crimson’s defense played decidedly better in a season-opening victory. “To have what happened last year and to go out there this year and stop them on the potential game-winning drives is very rewarding, and it’s a testament to our heart,” captain Matt Curtis said. What happened last year was not limited to a last-second score. The Crusaders, led by quarterback Dominic Randolph, racked up 492 yards of offense to go with 31 first...
