...Candidates, Two Styles Re "Does Temperament Matter?": Throughout his career, John McCain has shown himself willing to put others at risk to advance his career or his causes [Oct. 27]. Like President Bush, he is a person who shoots from the hip, invites conflict and sees compromise as a sign of weakness rather than a path to progress. His impulsiveness has been evident this fall in rash decisions such as selecting Sarah Palin and suspending his campaign. While his supporters call him a maverick, I call him reckless. And as the past eight years have shown, recklessness is not what...
After losing its first Ancient Eight conference game 1-0 last Saturday to Dartmouth, the Harvard men’s soccer team looked to rebound from the heartbreaking loss. Even with senior All-American forward and co-captain Mike Fucito out with a hip injury, the Crimson (10-4) found just the right cure by decisively defeating and shutting out a struggling Maine soccer team (5-10-2) 2-0 yesterday in Orono, Maine. “To show that we could win without him really boosted our confidence,” co-captain Luke Sager said.

He learned my work and asked me to make designs.' The 'big breast sculpture' is Hiropon, a painted fiberglass work completed in 1997 of a blue-haired girl with gargantuan breasts from which milk gushes in such abundance that the flow encircles her body like a skipping rope...
...took of Winston Churchill during one of the former Prime Minister’s visits to Canada. Churchill gazes sternly out of the print. His unrelenting spirit leaps from the image in the lines of his face, in the powerful position of his stance, one hand on his hip, the other on his cane. The radiant suggestion of a halo playing about his head is a perfect example of Karsh’s use of light: most of his subjects are surrounded by dark backgrounds. Yet this use of light reaches into the luminary aspect of the strong leader...
