...Halpern, ranked fifth in the nation going into last week in goals per game (4.00), has tallied at least three goals in eight of Harvard’s last nine games this season and is riding a 20-game scoring streak...

The most controversial area is where you place the dividing line between what is cost-effective and what is cost-ineffective. That is the "How much is life worth?" question.

Exchanges between the two countries now stand at a modest $250 million per year; but that might be boosted as a result of a trip on which Sarkozy was accompanied by officials from construction firms Lafarge and Vinci, France Telecom, Aeroports de Paris, and Alstom...
