...boat length. The second varsity rallied, and after making a strong move, came from behind to win once again.In the afternoon, Radcliffe added Notre Dame to the list of first varsity victims with an eight-second win over Dartmouth and a 19-second margin of victory over the Fighting Irish. The second varsity followed suit with the victory but bested the Midwestern visitor by only one second. The novice eight was dominant for a second time, enjoying an 11-second lead over second place.The next weekend, the heavyweights travelled to the Housatonic River to face Ivy rival Yale and southern...
Mixing alcohol, a depressant, with stimulants is nothing new. The Irish have their eponymous coffee, and any authentic Italian restaurant offers something called caffè corretto, a shot of espresso mixed with a shot of grappa or sambuca.

...find, say, a film on Northern Ireland's Troubles that is sympathetic to its English occupiers, or an Israeli film hostile to the Palestinians.

Blair, he writes in his diaries, said debt relief was like Mount Everest. Bono replied, "When you see Everest, Tony, you don't look at it, you f___ing climb it.") I had breakfast with Blair in his hotel room the next morning, anxious to know how the talks on Kosovo...
...Blair's faith took on an extra dimension when he met and married Cherie Booth-like him, a young lawyer-after graduating. Blair's wife is a devout Catholic; not a posh Catholic, but a Liverpool-Irish, working-class, convent-educated girl with cousins who became priests. In her recent memoir, Cherie makes plain the centrality of religion to their relationship. Of the young Blair, she says, "Religion was more important to him than anyone I had ever met outside the priesthood." She and Blair would spend hours "talking about God and what we were here...
