Although its offense has been completely inept, Cornell's defense has managed to keep the games pretty close, having allowed only two goals in its last three matches. Sophomore goalkeeper Meghan Cauzillo was named to the Ivy League Honor Roll last week for her solid play. She will have to be on her game tomorrow, as Cornell figures to see much action on the defensive side of the field...

...paramilitary massacres peasants, human rights workers, and left-wing activists at will, without fear of reprisal, and often with the tacit consent of Colombian security forces. While the State Department insists that no violators of human rights benefit from U.S. assistance, the accountability of an inept and abusive Colombian military is far from assured. Currently, 10 soldiers are under investigation for committing human rights abuses themselves, and many more cases have been hushed up.

...Mahathir?s plan is easy to dismiss as the folly of an economically inept autocrat. But by going through with it, Mahathir has drawn a line in the sand: It?s him against the barbarians. And in this age where economic and political ideology have become inextricably entwined, the stakes are high.

If his course succeeds, and Malaysia recovers, the rest of the region could follow his example and pull disastrously back from necessary economic reforms. At worst...

...true?" He was quiet for a full 10 seconds. "I have nothing else to say," he said at last. "We, we did, if, the, the, I, I, the stories are just as they have been said. They're outrageous, and they're not so." More fluent, but just as inept, was this exchange from his deposition in the Paula Jones case...
