...unifying gloss that cricket gives to a nation like Pakistan is far too thin. Pakistan's doom is that religion continues to be the primary basis of identity for this artificially created state, to the detriment of everything else. While the state champions a rigid sense of identity, the land reforms and economic, social and legal reforms that are critical to nurturing democracy and development have been totally ignored by feudal lords masquerading as politicians and hell-bent on retaining power. East Pakistan split away to become Bangladesh; given half a chance, Baluchistan or some other restive regions would...
...Felton and Hayes secured an 8-2 win over the Lions’ Dan Urban and Rajeev Deb-Sen, followed closely by a win at No. 1 for Clayton and Chijoff-Evans over Bogdan Borta and Mihai Nichifor (8-6). No.3 Ermakov and Omodele-Lucien added gloss to the point with...
...rest of the Adventureland gang is good company as well. There's gangly, pimply, well-read Joel (Martin Starr), who offers James proof that there's intelligent life outside the Ivies. Lisa P (Margarita Levieva) is the essence of a mid-'80s goddess, all lip gloss, tight high-waisted pants and fluffy hair.

Connell is James' polar opposite, a heel who relishes being...
...just a single wiper and drivers must make do with one side mirror. But it's not simply a stripped-down car. The shell was designed to be rigid with less material, and the body panels are made out of Japanese and Korean steel, giving the exterior a high-gloss look and feel. Delphi designed a streamlined instrument cluster that weighs just 14 oz. (400 g), compared to 2.2 lb. (1 kg) for the models it sells in North America and Europe. These and dozens of other refinements yield a car that weighs just 1,322 lb. (600 kg), less...
...Felton at No. 2; the duo combined to save numerous break points, before Hayes’ delicate volley consigned Dusan Medan and Rutherford to an 8-6 defeat. Moments later at No. 1, senior captain and No. 65 in the nation Chris Clayton and sophomore Alexei Chijoff-Evans applied gloss to the doubles point, overcoming Trent Hagan and Stephen Shao in an 8-4 win. But if Harvard was under any illusions regarding the strength of its opponents upon winning the doubles, it was sorely mistaken in the singles.With three wins needed in the singles to secure the win, three...
