Harvard was on target early in the game, shooting 65 percent from the field after one half, and 50 percent after two. Of the Crimson’s 34 baskets, 27 came off of assists, the highest number of helpers Harvard has dished this season.

When Iraq's tough-talking interim Defense Minister Hazem Shaalan starts talking about postponing the January 30 election, it's clear that the issue is being considered at the highest levels of Prime Minister Iyad Allawi's administration - despite official insistence that the poll will go ahead on schedule.

Gen. Pinochet then turned to his poor health as a defense, and finagled permission to return to Chile...
...Santiago Appeals Court ruled that Pinochet was indeed medically unfit to stand trial and so forced prosecutors to abandon the case against him. Until yesterday, that medical defense held fast. Though his defense counsel has pledged to appeal yesterday’s indictment to Chile’s highest court, it seems now that the slippery General may at last be at the end of his luck...
