...could have taken a step back last week after losing, but I think the guys stepped up and it showed a lot about their character.” Last time the teams met, Harvard walked away with a 13-8 loss. And after watching an early lead melt into a 4-4 tie at halftime, the Crimson’s strong third period was well-timed. In that frame, sophomore attacker Jesse Fehr put the finishing touches on a hat-trick and classmate and midfielder Travis Burr slammed in his first two goals of the season within two minutes...

Look at the faces in the story. Each one says, "Yeah, I may be young, but I know what I'm doing and where...
...respondents also believed that Bush's peremptory militarism had made America less secure; 75% wanted to work to improve relations with Iran through diplomacy rather than threats. If those attitudes hold, McCain's rude bellicosity faces an uphill climb. It is likely, of course, that the numbers will melt in the heat of a campaign, especially when words like victory and patriotism are invoked, but for a moment in Doha it was possible to believe that the distance between the U.S. and Islamic worlds was closing a bit. Or, as a Libyan said to me, employing an Obamism, "I think...
