...Tuncay manned the goal, since the subs had all been used. He probably drove the team bus back to the hotel, too. For the Czechs, it was as difficult a loss as any team could withstand, one made all that harder by goalie Peter Czech's uncharacteristic, and catastrophic, error that led to Turkey's second goal. Czech captain Tomás Ujfalusi called it "a cruel way to end our participation in this tournament...
...translation error, when Hebrew scripture was rendered into Greek, added to the allure of the creature now known as the unicorn. The wild ox, a now-extinct creature rendered in bas relief profiles with one horn, was translated in Greek as monokeros or one-horned.

It's a payment structure riddled with problems. "Under the status quo, doctors get paid if they make a mistake," says Dr. Richard Neubauer, chief...
...have contacted the President, Deans and Marshall of Harvard University with the hopes that we can change this unfortunate error. Bureaucracy will obviously take its time, so for now there is little we can do. But when we seniors graduate this June, I hope you will “join” me in bellowing out these words that are both gender-sensitive and true to the original meaning: “We all to thy jubilee throng...
