...team (5-11-4, 5-6-4 ECAC) got the job done on Friday night at the Bright Hockey center with a 3-1 win over visiting Union (12-12-1, 5-8-0 ECAC). The win was the Crimson’s first in over two months and effectively ended a 13-game winless streak. “I told the guys after [the game] that it wasn’t exactly a pretty win and we didn’t do all the things that we wanted to do,” said Harvard coach Ted Donato...

But the criticisms he raises resonate with much of the Afghan public, which is particularly angered by air strikes that often inflict civilian casualties. Arming local warlords to fight the Taliban, Karzai warns, has had a disastrous effect in the recent past and would most likely reinforce Afghanistan's anarchic trend. Distancing himself from the counterinsurgency war in his country may be a calculated election strategy on Karzai's part. He could also seek to bolster his position by reaching out to other key neighborhood players such...
