...alongside depressing disappointments. After a struggle-filled fall with very few victories, the epee squad went 11-16 on the day, but posted an unexpected 5-4 win over the Quakers, giving the Crimson a real shot at going 3-0. It was the struggles of the Jekyl-and-Hyde foil fencers that really hurt the squad’s chances against Penn. After beating two soft opponents in Yale and Princeton, the foilists dropped the ball against the Quakers, falling 6-3. They had marked the high-point of the fall season, punishing opposing squads in lopsided victories...
Then, I received a call from Echo Moskvi, the last liberal Moscow Radio station, which is something of an on-air Hyde Park for limited numbers of intellectuals, a small arena for them to spout off, not unlike the old Soviet-era Literaturnaya Gazeta. I explained as briefly as I could: it's not an endorsement or a distinction.

In the name of sovereignty, they want to end talks with the IAEA and the Nuclear Suppliers Group that...
...India's left-wing parties don't agree. Long suspicious of American intentions, they say the deal - based on U.S. legislation known as the Hyde Act of 2006, which includes a nonbinding proviso that India's foreign policy be aligned with that of the U.S. - compromises India's sovereignty. Now, that opposition has brought Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's government to the brink of collapse. With 59 seats in India's 552-member lower house of Parliament, the leftists, including the powerful Communist Party of India (Marxist), have been a significant outside partner in the ruling Congress Party-led coalition...
