...increased to nearly 5,000 last year, according to Greek Cypriot authorities. Attempts to stimulate trade between the two sides of the island, however, have largely failed. Exports from the north to the south - primarily farm products such as tomatoes - fell short of €1 million last year. The lack of cooperation extends to matters of public health, too. When authorities in northern Cyprus announced last year that they had identified a case of avian flu, Greek Cypriot authorities refused to acknowledge the warning and accused Turkish Cypriot authorities of trying to spread alarm and discourage tourism.

After reading the excerpt from Barack Obama's new book, The Audacity of Hope, I've reconsidered my concern about his lack of experience [Oct. 23]. I'm inclined to vote for a smart, effective communicator and consensus builder who may have little experience but is pragmatic and inclusionary like him rather than someone who has experience but is absolutist and exclusionary.

...that may serve more as a chance to pad statistics and test young players than real competition. The Crimson will play Union, Quinnipiac, and Division-I newbie RPI twice—a sextet of games that Harvard could realistically win by a combined 50 goals. And it is this lack of a challenge that bothers the Crimson. “I think our league is too big,” Stone says. “Honestly, it bugs me that it is so big. It doesn’t allow us to play more out of league games, which...
