...hopes to be successful in its four-game series in New Haven against Yale (13-16, 5-2-1 Ivy) this weekend, the Harvard lineup will have to break out of its collective slump, and quickly. Through April 6, the Crimson had scored a nation-worst 2.6 runs per game, with several of its top hitters struggling mightily at the plate, including captain Matt Vance, who, since his two-homer outing last Wednesday against Holy Cross, is 2-for-24 with 10 strikeouts. According to Harvard coach Joe Walsh, Vance has taken the burden of awakening the Crimson?...

The agency responsible for policing the safety of the nation's airlines has been under intense pressure over the last few weeks, ever since an investigation by the House Transportation Committee revealed in March that an FAA supervisor allowed Southwest Airlines to fly 46 planes that had missed inspections.

...foreigners. (Suu Kyi's husband, who died in 1999, was English, and her two sons hold British passports.) Second, despite several mentions of the word "democracy" - albeit always attached to the strange phrase "discipline-flourishing" - the draft ensures that the military will continue to exert great control over the nation. A quarter of all parliamentary seats will be filled by military officers, while the president must have a military background. And just in case a true democracy manages to flourish despite all the clauses designed to hinder it, the junta grants its members an amnesty from future prosecution...
