...ourselves,” Harvard coach Frank Sullivan said. “To get to the line 33 times and only shoot 58 percent, that’s not a good number for us.” Crimson guards Ko Yada and Drew Housman as well as forward Zach Martin each hit three-pointers in the final minute, but the Bulldogs (10-8, 2-1) went 10-for-12 from the line to ice the game. The strong performance down the stretch masked what had been an abysmal showing from the stripe for Yale. The Bulldogs started the game just...
...Harper government would move in lockstep with Washington. Nevertheless, the young Conservative leader's victory may indeed have "put a smile" on U.S. President George W. Bush's face--as Liberals jeered during the campaign--if only because Americans have been puzzled and piqued by the Chretien and Martin governments' anti-American rhetoric over the past four years. Even so, Bush was reportedly miffed at Harper for failing to throw his party's support behind the U.S.'s continental ballistic-missile-defense scheme (which the Liberals rejected last year). In the first and only meeting between the two, during...
...Paul Martin was simple, sad and bittersweet. By 10 p.m. E.T. on election night--just as West Coast polls closed--TV pundits were already declaring that Canada's 21st Prime Minister was about to be pushed aside by the 22nd.

"'Oh, I'm sorry, Prime Minister,'" he recalled her saying. Then...
...Martin's defeat had been widely expected. The surprise was that soon you can't call him Liberal leader either. His postelection announcement that he won't helm the party in any future vote has set off a mad scramble that suggests the Liberals' top brass are more concerned with recapturing power than examining why they lost Canadians' support. "This is a low point in the history of the party," acknowledges Liberal Senator Francis Fox, a former Cabinet minister who was a top adviser to Martin in the early, upbeat days of his two-year rule. A low point...
...spring 2007, but insiders are already lobbying for a leadership confab as early as this fall. That would give would-be candidates less than six months to recruit delegates and build a campaign team--one reason that pressure is already building for hopefuls to declare themselves. Former Justice Minister Martin Cauchon was among the first to sniff the winds: he called a prospective supporter (unsuccessfully) three times for lunch. Others, like former Newfoundland Premier Brian Tobin, powerful Toronto-area M.P.s Maurizio Bevilacqua and Joe Volpe and former hockey great Ken Dryden, are allowing speculation to float about their prospective candidacies...
