Another important news item somewhat lost in the shuffle of the new season: the NCAA Division III Presidents Council voted last week to keep a piece of legislation in its reform package that would end the ability of its member schools to “play up” to Division I and offer athletic scholarships...
...Engineers, like Clarkson and St. Lawrence, are battling two things as the season begins: legislation before the Division III Presidents Council that could take away their ability to offer Division-I hockey scholarships while remaining a Division III institution, and a recent on-ice decline in what has been an Ivy-dominated ECAC. The first is largely out of the team’s control. The second isn’t, and could change, if this veteran varsity (20 returning letterwinners) finds a way to improve on last year’s punchless scoring average of 2.35 goals per game...
...months ago, TIME asked the College Board if we could sort out some of these conundrums by following the development of the New SAT from inside. To our surprise, board president Gaston Caperton III agreed. Renouncing his predecessors' often combative p.r. approach, Caperton allowed me to attend a series of meetings at which New SAT items were previewed and debated. An experienced politician--he was elected Governor of West Virginia in 1988 and '92--Caperton knows the old adage about making laws and sausage. Designing tests is also a messy process, and he deserves credit for laying it bare...
...battle that military officials called a major blow to the group. Edgar Gustavo Navarro is said to have been behind the capture of three Americans - and the killing of a fourth - after their plane was shot down during a counternarcotics mission in February.

Royal loyalists won most of the 60 seats up for grabs in the House of Assembly as pro-democracy groups boycotted the poll. Still, a prominent opposition leader and five women were elected for the first time...
...larger record in the Balkans without blemish? Hardly. Leave aside his various mistakes in Kosovo, such as his ordering British Gen. Sir Michael Jackson to advance on Russian soldiers at Pristina airport. (Gen. Jackson refused, claiming such a move would’ve precipitated “World War III.”) Seldom mentioned, but indeed troubling, is the nature of Clark’s August 1994 meeting in Banja Luka, Bosnia, with Serb Gen. Ratko Mladic...
