...driver's judgment of closing velocity, at the last second they wheel into the sky, crows playing chicken with the traffic. The tableau of roadkill they are enjoying looks like a multi-species suicide pact. There's the standard eviscerated kangaroo, but also an emu less than a meter away, head tucked under its wing as if sheltering from the wind that fluffs its feathers.

...Arabism declined, pan-Islamism rose in its place. Hence Islamist Hizballah--client of Islamist Iran, ally of Islamist Hamas--provokes a war with Israel.

The matchups proved to be two more easy wins, as Harvard beat the Big Green 181-119 and the Big Red 189-111.

Three years ago, rookie runner Mary Serdakowski stood atop the podium at the Ivy League championships after winning the 60-meter hurdles at the indoor Heptagonals. This past February, Serdakowski returned to the top with a victory that helped propel the Harvard women’s track and field team to a fourth-place finish at the meet. In 2003, she won the event as a freshman, and this year, she beat out two runners from Cornell. Her qualifying time had been the fastest in the event, and her 8.85 in the finals proved as good...
