When he talks about the war in iraq, Jim Webb-the Democrat running for the U.S. Senate from Virginia-likes to paraphrase Dwight Eisenhower on the war in Korea. "Anyone who tells you we can set a timetable for withdrawal doesn't understand war," he says. "And anyone who says that nothing can be done to speed a secure peace doesn't understand America." Yeah, but America is a less disciplined place than it was 50 years ago, and speeding a secure peace requires some focus from a country-and an Administration-that is largely awol on Iraq. Webb...
...difficult to imagine what it was like to be Jim Webb last week. It should have been the moment that his race against Republican Senator George Allen crystallized. Two debates were scheduled.

The Senator has visited Iraq several times and has a solid knowledge of the contending forces there...
...some youthful wide receivers. First Team All-Ivy junior Luke Siwula will lead the running game. The defensive line and the defensive backfield each return three talented starters, but the linebackers have no returners. The squad expects a lot from special teams, an area of emphasis for coach Jim Knowles...
...stinker of a loss versus mediocre Bucknell last weekend. The Big Red committed four turnovers, two of them picks by novice thrower Nathan Ford. Luke Siwula got only 13 carries and still managed to top 100 yards, while Ford tossed a whopping 36 passes. I trust Jim Knowles to recognize the silliness of this distribution and entrust the ball to his All-Ivy running back. Siwula should get little resistance from a Yale defense that was minced by San Diego in last week’s blowout to the tune of 43 points. Prediction: Cornell 24, Yale 14PENN...
...ordinary Chinese, I have a humble suggestion to the suffering French: Why use armed hunters to kill thousands of troublesome bullfrogs? It is not half as effective as whetting the appetite of the community and showing people how lucky they are to be living among so many exotic delicacies. Jim Hsia Shanghai
