...Dubai officials insist that they can meet their debt obligations for the next two years. Analysts point out, however, that the credit squeeze compounds a growing challenge to Dubai's revenue streams. The most obvious is the halving of the price of oil from $147 per bbl. to $70 per bbl. since July, sending Middle East stocks tumbling and rendering regional investors increasingly cautious. Likewise, a global recession is likely to tighten the belts of the international investors and holiday makers that Dubai relies on for its real estate and tourism developments. Even before the global crunch, banks...
...should be ready to go against Princeton [next week],” Murphy said. “Both guys should be in good shape.” But with just one primary running back, Harvard’s generally solid running game—which averages 121.6 rushing yards per game—was held to only 78 net rushing yards, 68 of which were supplied by Jenkins.

Captain Teddy Schreck said that the new sophomores have already begun to make their presence felt.“They’ve actually really contributed a lot even in just the first month on the varsity,” he said. “Having guys like...
...Middle East, and the readiness to blacklist people - guilt by association - you start to suspect George Orwell was right. And, incidentally, it doesn't have to be this way. Before 9/11, the FBI and CIA sifted through tens of thousands of terrorist leads every day. Ninety nine point nine per cent turn out to be bogus. The names never made it onto national master list and stayed in the raw files where they belonged. We missed 9/11, but not because the two San Diego hijackers were not on a list. We missed it because so many names float through Washington...
