...year was Bucknell, another Patriot League school, during a time in which the Patriot League seemed to dominate the Ivies. “I just think it’s a renewed emphasis on national recruiting,” Murphy said of his conference’s resurgence in head-to-head matchups. “Just a real good cycle for the Ivy League in terms of having a lot of parity in the league, and having a lot of good teams.” One of the best players on those good teams has been senior...

It transferred weapons sent from Iran to Hizballah's forward positions along the Israeli border, and created a defensive shield behind which its fighters trained in the Bekaa Valley. But that relationship both enabled and restrained Hizballah, because Israeli or U.S. pressure...
