...cutting on the perimeter. Once the post game is established and the defense collapses, Harvard’s forwards are quick to find the open guard on the perimeter. It is that offensive balance, that versatility of offensive production, that has left Ivy opponents guessing as to which offensive element to shut down first. Leave the perimeter open, and Laura Robinson or McCaffery will knock down threes all day. Pressure the guards, and Harvard’s revived post game will punish the interior defense and end up at the free throw line more often than...

"We should not try to bring back a society that breeds crime." Good news for New Orleans, but apparently not for Houston...
...tells TIME. The difficult transition, though, is more than just a product of bureaucratic fumbling. It is a significant step in the march of U.S. health care toward a free-market system governed by choice and risk. President George W. Bush is expected to make that movement a central element in his State of the Union address next week and to emphasize its promise. The patients, families and pharmacists caught up in Part D know its price, at least in the short term...
