Like French mathematician Pierre de Fermat, who claimed to have discovered a marvelous proof he couldn't fit in the margin of his notebook, Wiles has run into a last-minute problem but says he is sure he can resolve...

According to ElBaradei, these nations pose a major threat because they are capable of turning that potential into actual weaponry in a relatively short period of time. “To me, if we continue along that path, the security margin we have is almost fictional,” ElBaradei said.

...second place Charleston. “I haven’t won a division before,” Baker said. “It was great.

Feeding off its momentum, Penn took advantage of five Crimson errors to open up a 10-6 lead in game three. Despite making many runs, Harvard never cut the margin to less than three and eventually fell, 30-26. Harvard will travels to Ithaca, N.Y., on Friday to face first-place Cornell before taking on perennial bottom-feeder Columbia. “Cornell’s definitely the team to beat,” Blotky said...
