The lead would eventually be pushed to 21 points at 53-32 with 13:16 left in the game. But the Crimson did not go quietly into the dark afternoon. After facing its largest deficit, Harvard went...

The drug trade - Afghanistan provides more than 90% of the world's opium - permeates everything. A former governor, Sher Mohammed Akhundzada, was caught with nine tons of opium, enough to force him out of office, but not enough to put him in jail, since he enjoys - according to U.S. military sources - a close relationship with the Karzai government. Indeed, Akhundzada and Karzai's brother Ahmed Wali - who operates in Kandahar, the next province over...
