...their family and friends report being harassed since the group's escape. Some of the refugees, including Wainggai, have spent time in jail for raising the separatist Morning Star flag in public. When they flew into Melbourne last week, the Papuans joyously displayed it and sang. "It's an honor for us to receive these visas," Wainggai says. "But that doesn't mean that the Papuan situation has been resolved." Wrong, say both Jakarta and Canberra. With a displeased Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono offering to guarantee the safety of the asylum seekers if they were sent back, Indonesian protesters...

The area ends at the northeasternmost edge along the Tigris River at the white columns of the Iraqi Ministry of Defense and the tree-lined streets around the Prime Minister?s residence. Only the innermost cordon of U.S. Embassy officies and sensitive military installations are guarded entirely by U.S. troops...
...Harvard baseball team’s scheduled game at Holy Cross was postponed yesterday due to the inclement weather in the Boston area, and no make-up date has been announced. Despite its inactivity, though, the Harvard baseball team still received some good news. The Ivy League office honored Crimson hurlers Shawn Haviland and Adam Cole with two of its weekly awards. Haviland, the sophomore ace, was named Pitcher of the Week on the strength of his 11 1/3 innings without allowing an earned run. After two stellar relief outings over spring break in Florida, Haviland twirled a complete-game...
