Moreover, continuing immediately with the HCCR will pose a substantial problem in the hunt for Kirby’s successor. If the Faculty casts a vote on the HCCR this spring and the new curriculum passes—which is expected—the pool of potential candidates will be greatly and unfairly reduced. Any possible candidate who does not support the current incarnation of the HCCR would struggle to lead the College into its new academic frontier, and the dean of the Faculty must take on this role if the curricular review is to succeed. Additionally, the next dean...
...basketball team washed away the lingering effects of a brutal loss in New Haven with one half of near-flawless play on Saturday night. Another spectacular guard effort keyed a 75-58 Harvard blowout at the Pizzitola Center and kept the team alive and well in the Ivy title hunt. The Crimson improved to 11-6 overall and 3-1 in the Ivy League. It was the most recent test in a tough opening stretch that includes five of the first six league games on the road. After suffering through what was likely the most emotionally draining loss...
...isolation. In Iraq, scene of al-Qaeda's deadliest strikes since 9/11, the group's leader, Abu Mousab al-Zarqawi, is fighting battles with some Iraqi insurgent groups who want him dead almost as badly as the U.S. military does (see box).

Details of the Damadola operation are beginning to emerge, and they provide a tantalizing glimpse into the intensifying hunt for bin Laden. A Peshawar-based official told TIME that in the past month, Pakistani-intelligence field agents had been tracking two groups of men who had crossed the border from Afghanistan into Bajaur, a small, often restive tribal region that borders Afghanistan's Kunar province. In the days before...
Although the missile strike provoked a round of protests in Pakistan's tribal areas that forced President Pervez Musharraf to distance his government from the operation, cooperation between the U.S. and Pakistan in the hunt for bin Laden has quietly deepened. A Peshawar-based Pakistani intelligence official speaking on condition of anonymity says Washington has an understanding with Islamabad that allows the U.S. to strike within Pakistan's border regions--providing the Americans have actionable intelligence and especially if the Pakistanis won't or can't take firm action. Pakistan's caveat is that it would formally protest such strikes...
