...this, of course, costs money. The Bush Administration has increased the State Department budget by 25% since 2005, but the department is still moving at a snail's pace toward achieving its goals. Even with next year's requested bump, the average embassy will still have a staffing shortfall this year of 20%. The State Department has never recovered from a hiring freeze on new foreign service officers in the mid-1990s when more diplomats were retiring than were brought...
That has been a dubious honor in this year's chaotic Democratic race, especially for Hillary Clinton, who comes into the so-called Potomac Primaries after a challenging week. Not only did she admit to loaning her cash-strapped campaign $5 million in order to keep pace with Obama ahead of Super Tuesday, but on Sunday Clinton replaced her campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle with long-time confidante Maggie Williams, and Monday she had to reassure some nervous donors and endorsers that the nomination was still within her reach. Still, Clinton is nowhere near being counted out: she has raised...
...League standings. The Crimson succeeded in doing just that by beating Yale 65-55 at Lavietes Pavilion, in a game Harvard coach Kathy Delaney-Smith described as “messy, messy, messy.” Most of the game was played at a frenetic pace, giving the crowd little time to breathe.

Yet, very early on, this Harvard passion seemed to be missing. The Crimson...
...before halftime, and Wheeler collected the rebound from a Hallion miss and drained a baseline shot as the period expired. Wheeler’s jumper enlivened the crowd and the Crimson, and the slim halftime lead served as a wakeup call for the defending league champions. After Cornell kept pace with Harvard’s two wins with a Princeton-Penn sweep on the road, the two teams are tied atop the Ancient Eight standings with matching 5-1 records. The Crimson now faces a key stretch of Ivy games on the road, with a showdown in Ithaca coming Friday...
...Ancient Eight for the second year in a row, the Crimson men failed to join them as they had last year, and the women failed to reclaim their past glory. After going 2-1 in the first weekend of the Ivy Championships, the men continued at the same pace to finish third overall, falling to the Lions, 18-9, but defeating Brown, 21-6. The women also finished third, losing, 17-10 to Columbia and a nail-biter, 14-13, to the Bears, despite defeating Cornell, 17-10. The men were simply overmatched in the meet against the Lions, with...
