...What happens now in Congress? Less than many might expect. Democrats have been trying a variety of approaches since January: setting timetables, limiting deployments or easing troop-deployment schedules. Despite or maybe because of the consistent and vocal demands of the party's antiwar flank, none of the Democratic efforts have yet attracted lasting bipartisan support. The few that have come close fall well short of veto-proof margins. The best proposals, like the plan developed by Democratic Senators Carl Levin of Michigan and Jack Reed of Rhode Island that would begin withdrawals by 120 days after passage, mustered only...
...John Edwards always knew Clinton was going to be formidable, but he didn't bank on Obama. Edwards' plan was to run a transformational campaign on Hillary's left flank, but then a fresher transformational change agent set up shop alongside him. Obama's message is more cerebral and less specific than Edwards'-it sounds a lot like Bill Bradley's in 2000-and Edwards believes that Obama will fade, as Bradley did, giving him a clean shot at Clinton.

...that size. But this year, Fucito turned out just fine—he was an integral member of a squad that exceeded expectations by winning the Ivy League championship.

Inspired by a coach who would not let this season come to an abrupt end, the Crimson took the field with confidence and fire. Sophomore Mike Fucito relentlessly attacked the left flank, torturing the Bearcats defenders and reawakening the home crowd. His efforts were rewarded in the 57th minute as classmate John Stamatis fed him the ball in front of the net for the equalizer. And just as thoughts of overtime began creeping in, freshmen Chey Im and Andre’ Akpan...
...first sign that all would not go well came on the night of May 10. Though the established route up the mountain's south flank is precarious--barely wide enough to accommodate one climber at a time--no fewer than three expeditions had announced plans to begin their trek to the top that evening. Making things worse, two of the teams--Fisher's and Hall's--were the two largest on the mountain. All together, 33 people would be tramping the upward trail at the same time. For Breashears, this was reason enough to stay put. "We didn't like...
