Still, it’s hard to imagine this squad ending Trinity’s reign anytime soon unless it can land players like Suchde and Oren. In the world of collegiate squash, while coaching and training can have an impact, it ultimately comes down to the talent of the players on the roster. Even a year’s worth of intense training won’t be enough to erase all of the 26 zeroes Harvard put up on the scoreboard against the Bantams last Wednesday...
...Indeed, many of Sarkozy's vaunted policy initiatives have so far fizzled. A package of tax reductions and credits passed into law last July has had little discernible impact on investment and jobs. Legislation that took hold in October allowing companies and workers to step around the legal 35-hour work-week limit hasn't done much to stiffen French work habits.

Without new weaponry provided at discount rates, the junta would have to spend vastly more of its own money equipping the second largest army in Southeast Asia. This would leave far less to support the military's vast parallel social-welfare system, including separate health care and schools for soldiers, which is vital to ensuring the average grunt's loyalty to the generals rather than to the Burmese people...
