Stehle recorded Harvard’s first double-double of the season with 20 points and 10 rebounds in 34 minutes—all career highs—despite missing the last two days of practices with a deep contusion of his thigh after getting kneed at the end of the Crimson’s 81-75 loss to New Hampshire on Saturday...
...Howard Dean proved he had more backbone than most mainstream Democrats. “What I want to know is what in the world so many Democrats are doing supporting the President’s unilateral intervention in Iraq,” he belted.

We now know that an attack on Iraq may lead to terrorist counterattacks. Even the business community, usually a fairly tough-minded precinct, seems jelly-kneed at the prospect. "I have never seen such unanimity on any foreign policy issue," says Leslie H. Gelb, president of the Council on Foreign Relations, who made a speaking tour of mostly business audiences in the Midwest and on the West Coast in December. "They want a smoking...
