...governed by the European Union in that about 70% of the laws enacted by our Parliament are required to comply with E.U. regulations. Within a few years, after the provisions of the Lisbon Treaty are progressively brought into effect, our subordination to the E.U. will be complete. Regrettably, that final outcome accords with the Conservative Party's consistent policy since the Prime Ministership of Edward Heath, who took Britain into the European Economic Community in 1973.

Because Atta was actually constipated in the days and hours before steering American Airlines Flight 11 into the North Tower...
...final whistle of the 2007 season provided a bittersweet moment for the Harvard women’s soccer team. Sure, the squad had turned in its best campaign in quite some time, racking up 10 wins for first-year coach Ray Leone. But the 1-0 loss to Penn dropped the Crimson below .500 in league play, and established the Quakers—who had already clinched the Ivy title—as the team to beat in the Ancient Eight. Tomorrow evening at 7 p.m., these two teams will resume Ivy play against each other as Harvard...
