...speech. Yet something was missing: the chance to blow off steam by trading insults or even blows with colleagues. An unfamiliar spirit of universal amity took the edge off debates that in earlier years might have degenerated into cathartic screaming matches. Sheltering from a sudden downpour in the lee of a seafront pub, one Labour old-timer joked to another: "Now that's what I call rain - good and honest, just like Gordon...
...York when he proposed laying a wreath at ground zero. No can do, police said; too big a security risk, which was rather delicately put, given how revolted New Yorkers were by the prospect of a tyrant's hand touching sacred ground. Next came Columbia University's president, Lee Bollinger, who managed to outrage just about everyone either for inviting Ahmadinejad to speak or for insulting him before he had a chance to.

...Crimson was swept by the Bulldogs in doubles Friday morning. Schnitter, who returned to the team this fall after not playing last spring, teamed with freshman Agnes Sibilski in an 8-4 loss to Kelley Hyndman and Naoko Ueshima of Georgia. An all-freshman paring of Eunice Lee and Samantha Rosekrans went down, 8-3, while sophomore Elizabeth Brook and junior Catriona Stewart lost, 8-2. The afternoon matches against the Yellow Jackets proved equally challenging for the Crimson. Stewart lost a three-setter 6-1, 4-6, 6-1, while junior Vilsa Curto, Rosekrans, Lee, Schnitter, and Sibilski...
