...Benazir returned home to acclaim as the savior of Pakistani democracy. If that feat is to be repeated, voters would have to be so desperate to end military rule that they would overlook not only any deal she might strike with Musharraf, but also the widespread human rights abuses and epic corruption that prevailed in Pakistan during her last stint in power...

Senior quarterback Craig Hormann is back and has weapons in sophomore wideout Austin Knowlin and tight ends Troy Evangelist and Jamal Russell. The defense, tops in the Ivies in scoring defense last season with a unique 3-5-3 alignment, must replace five starters...
