...gentlemanly high ground of sport, that there is more honor in it than in football or cricket because players don't talk back to referees and have a few pints together afterwards, that's been exposed as the fallacy it always was," wrote Oliver Holt in Wednesday's Daily Mirror newspaper. Still, rugby's troubling evolution may yet be halted - as long as the sport and its players respond to the bloodgate scandal with remedial action, and refuse to simply regard it as a distraction they can forget when the controversy blows over...
...fared away from Mommy and Daddy, your first response is likely going to be “Ew.” Why? Unfortunately for you, and for many an incoming college student before you, the dreaded Freshmen 15 is no fiction. So, take a long look in the mirror, because there’s a pretty good chance your figure won’t be looking this slim—or jacked, depending on your gender—come May. (Actually, come November.

...Qdoba and Chipotle are those big chains that you’ve probably heard of or sampled at some point.

So as an undergraduate student I'm kind of taken aback a little bit that that's going to be happening, and I almost want...
...Whether intentionally or coincidentally, thank you for running two different but parallel pieces in the same issue: Leslie Gelb's "Remembrance: Robert McNamara" and your cover story on Afghanistan. Both articles mirror each other in thought and tone and express hope for American efforts in ongoing quagmires. Gelb and McChrystal understand that wars in places like Afghanistan and Vietnam - no matter how expertly executed - can't be won unless local people have a true stake in the operations. McChrystal's new fighting strategy - to separate and protect instead of kill, to understand motivations rather than employing brute force, to supplement...
