...that game, standout junior netminder Love posted 48 saves to stymie the Harvard offense, floundering without absent international starts Julie Chu and Sarah Vaillancourt, and lift her team to the win. Love is the kind of inconsistent goalie whose stats may not be gaudy but certainly holds the potential to dominate any game. The result snapped the Crimson’s 39-game winning streak in the series...
Massachusetts is the next stop for fusion voting, and we give our enthusiastic support to a new bill, filed in December in the House of Representatives, proposing that the state lift its ban on the practice. Stronger third parties in Massachusetts would create better politics in a state where the entrenched power of a Democratic legislature and a Republican governor has held up progress on many issues.

Not even a shared dinner of lobster risotto and truffle sauce could get Bush and his French counterpart Jacques Chirac (who in this case speaks for Europe old and new) to agree on the European Union's plan to lift its embargo on supplying defense technology to China, imposed after the Tiananmen Square massacre in 1989.

Asked about U.S. intentions toward Iran, Bush replied: "This notion that the United States is getting ready to attack Iran...
...cooperation are being forged around the U.S. China has not only begun to displace the U.S. as the dominant player in the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation organization (APEC), it is fast emerging as the major trading partner to some of Latin America's largest economies. The European decision to lift its arms embargo may reflect an awareness of the strategic significance of Beijing's emergence as an economic power - a dynamic that will dwarf the U.S. war with al-Qaeda in terms of its impact on the global strategic balance. And as China emerges alongside other new players such...
