...completely not the point. At a time when characters on the hit teen TV shows can be ostracized for wearing last season's designer shoes, we have no idea what Bella wears besides blue jeans and T shirts. We barely know what she looks like beyond her fair skin, though we know every detail of Edward's luminous looks. She is brave and loyal but not rich or cool, and yet she is the object of passionate devotion by the hottest boy in school - who, as it happens, must exercise constant self-restraint around...
...long season, after hundreds of minutes played, the Harvard women’s soccer team’s fate came down to penalty kicks.It didn’t quite seem fair, but at the same time, it was perfectly fitting for two teams that, in their two matchups this season, seemed to match up stride for stride.

And how can we ever act without the foresight of knowing the consequences of our actions? As of now, I have no idea—but I am hoping that my experience here will offer...
...easy in the face of concerted opposition from Maliki's Dawa Party and his sometime ally-sometime foe Sadr. Less certain is the reaction from the Supreme Council, which has long favored a semi-autonomous nine-province "super region" in the south (which it would have a fair shot at governing) rather than a smaller one in Basra, governed by Fadila. "We are not participating in this because we are busy with other things," says parliamentarian Redha Taki, the head of SIIC's political relations department.
