...beaten the Crimson 5-1 in their last meeting. The 2009 edition of the two teams’ showdown was hardly the offensive battle it was a year ago. With a lone goal propelling Harvard to victory, the match was largely a war of attrition. A strong defensive effort by the Crimson’s back line ultimately gave Harvard the edge. Senior Kwaku Nyamekye, juniors Rob Millock and Jaren LaGreca, and sophomore Baba Omosegbon combined with sophomore goalie Austin Harms to shut down BU and bring home the win for the Crimson. “We were very solid...

...outstanding points of contention between the two countries. It has for the first time officially recognized Lebanese sovereignty, by opening a Syrian embassy in Beirut. (Damascus has traditionally viewed Lebanon as a Syrian province turned into a separate country by European colonial powers.) And it has made some effort to stem the flow of militants across the Syrian border into Iraq. Still, Syria appears wary of giving away too much and is especially wary of U.S. demands that it give up its strategic alliances with Iran, Hizballah and Hamas. Syria's fears that breaking from its allies in search...
