...Tully. Unfortunately, however, the buzz around Harvard players seems to stop at Dawson and Farbotko. If any of these four make a squad, it is likely to be in free agency, and even that may be a reach at this point.Harvard does not seem to have the next Ryan Fitzpatrick on its hands in this draft, and even he—someone many believed to be a shoe-in—only went in the seventh round. But that’s the beauty of it all. Draft day comes but once a year, but it makes that once worthwhile...
...This was a political announcement," says Mark Fitzpatrick, Senior Fellow for Non-Proliferation at the International Institute for Strategic Studies in London. "We need to hear from the inspectors to know for sure, but it sounds to me as though Iran has not yet gotten in its enrichment program as far as it has been proclaiming. Yes, they are making progress, and yes, it is a new stage to be enriching uranium in the underground production-scale facility. But to call it industrial-scale enrichment is a boast...
...already. The petrol bombs and bullets that the walls used to hold back have stopped flying. Guards at the gate no longer keep their guns conspicuously unholstered. In fact, so much has changed in the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) that when a young Roman Catholic like Rory Fitzpatrick--who just 15 years ago could have viewed the force as his natural enemy--explains why he joined in 2004, his answers are unremarkable: Good prospects, good work, good pay. "Everyone seems to have us pigeonholed as sectarian, not police but soldiers," says Fitzpatrick, 27. "That...
...step forward on March 26, when leaders of the long-feuding Democratic Unionist Party and the nationalist Sinn Fein Party agreed to form a power-sharing government on May 8. At the center of the PSNI's makeover is a 2000 law: 50% of all new recruits must, like Fitzpatrick, have Catholic roots. Today 20% of officers are Catholic, more than twice the share 10 years ago. By 2010, the force is on track to be 30% Catholic...
Despite the best cross-community relations in decades and increasing political cooperation, it's still hard to get officers to talk about their place in this long-divided land. When off duty, says Fitzpatrick, "I don't tell people I work for the police. I tell them I'm in court services." Simpson, like many other officers, declines to say whether he's Catholic or Protestant. But in Belfast, even one's soccer team can reveal identity: most Glasgow Ranger fans are unionist, most Celtic fans nationalist. Simpson avoids this and just says he's a fan of neutral Liverpool...
