...robust overall team effort, the Crimson defeated the Terriers 7-0 Saturday afternoon at the Murr Center to open its spring dual-match season. “I thought we played reasonably well, coming off a tough time with reading period and finals,” Harvard Coach Gordon Graham said. “It was one of our better first matches,” senior Eva Wang said. “It’s always good to start off with a strong first step.” Harvard had little difficulty claiming the first point of the match...
...there in which rangers captured a crocodile, then shot a rifle near it, repeatedly circled it in a boat, and dazzled it with a spotlight. Says one ranger: "That croc has behaved itself ever since." But not all experts endorse such tactics. At Charles Darwin University in Darwin, Professor Graham Webb, who pioneered crocodile research and management in the Northern Territory, says unpleasant encounters with humans make the reptiles much harder to spot. "All it will do is make them wary," he says. "And you won't see them - so you'll think it's safe to go swimming...
...that point, says Moreau, evangelicalism, which had only recently begun to separate from a more hard-edged fundamentalism, was still laboring under a near-pariah status dating to the public relations disaster of the Scopes trial decades earlier.

"We breathe our selves, like lovers, into its tiny receptacle, and glide out the other end, mere voice, mere function. Wires, currents, satellites...

But a democracy cannot work if the person who is deputed to execute the laws exempts himself from them when he feels like it. Forget the imperial presidency. This is more like a monarchical one. America began by rejecting the claims of one King George. It's disturbing to think we may now be quietly installing a second one. Andrew Sullivan's blog, the Daily Dish...
