...aides at the Pentagon and State Department are furious that the President's big speech last week touting progress in Iraq was largely drowned out by disclosures that the U.S. command in Baghdad had been secretly planting rosy stories in Iraqi newspapers. Administration sources say Karen Hughes, who is in charge of improving the U.S.'s image abroad, is fuming and that neither she--as the State Department's Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy--nor such senior Pentagon officers as Joint Chiefs Chairman Peter Pace knew of the program until the Los Angeles Times broke the story last week...

The ball banked high off the glass and through the net, widening the Blue Devils’ lead back to 76-66 with three minutes to play and deflating Harvard’s furious second-half rally.That was the way Saturday’s game went for Chiera. The senior scored a career-high 27 points thanks to a career-high seven three-point field goals, making him just the third player in CCSU history to amass 200 treys.

By Tuesday afternoon, homes, hospitals and schools had no running water, and few options...
...Saints, Harvard pulled off a minor miracle.The fifth-ranked Crimson (3-1-1, 2-1-1 ECAC) tied the game with six seconds left in regulation and held on for a 2-2 draw with No. 1 St. Lawrence (8-0-1, 1-0-1) in overtime. In a furious 6-on-4 flurry as the clock wound down, Harvard moved the puck nearly the length of the ice, forced a shot on net, and jammed the rebound past Saints goalie Meghan Guckian. With netminder Ali Boe already pulled for an extra skater, and a St. Lawrence defender sent...
