...tournament,” women’s co-captain Chloe Stinetorf said. “We literally got out of the bus and pushed it out of the snow four times.” The effort was well worth it, though, as both teams returned with parallel victories in pocket, 21-6 over Brown and 16-11 over Penn. Princeton, another expected competitor on Sunday, could not make it because of the weather conditions, postponing the final outcome of the Ivy League Championships for two weeks, when Harvard will face them during the IFA championships in Philadelphia. Even...
...goes further in its irresponsible comparisons, drawing a parallel between former Israeli prime minister Menachim Begin and Hamas leader Mahmoud a-Zahhar. Unlike a-Zahhar, Begin, by his election in 1977, had already served in a democratic parliament for 29 years and been three decades removed from the activity of the militant Irgun group, which was formally dissolved at the creation of the state of Israel in 1948. Thus, despite his participation in attacks against the British army under the mandate, both the Likud and Begin were far removed from the activities and the ideology of the Irgun. A-Zahhar...

One has its origins in a failed Hollywood A-list movie; the other comes from the alt-auteur world of the small comix press. The first, The Fountain, written by filmmaker Darren Aronofsky (?, Requiem for a Dream) and drawn by Kent Williams, arrived in late 2005 from Vertigo/DC in the form of a high-end, full color hardcover graphic novel (166 pages) with a price ($40) that reflects its luxurious production. The other book, Ganges...
...group's manifesto, "Climate Change: An Evangelical Call for Action," exhorts Christians to battle global warming, "which will hit the poor the hardest because those areas likely to be significantly affected first are the poorest regions of the world." And it draws a parallel with ongoing Evangelical concerns: "With the same love of God and neighbor that compels us to preach salvation through Jesus Christ, protect unborn life, preserve the family and the sanctity of marriage, defend religious freedom and human dignity, and take the whole gospel to a hurting world, we the undersigned evangelical leaders resolve to come together...
