...gray, windswept afternoon in Warsaw, and Donald Tusk, the Polish Prime Minister, is running late. His flight in from Gdansk has been delayed by a storm; the schedule is tight. The Georgian President has come to visit, and then there's the weekend trip to Washington to talk over missile defense with George W. Bush. Three guests are waiting in the Chancellery when Tusk arrives. "I am not crazy about this job," he sighs, plunking down in an armchair and unbuttoning his jacket. That's understandable.

While the department’s current name implies that only works from the Anglo-American tradition would fall within its purview, in fact authors from backgrounds ranging from South African to Polish are routinely taught in its courses.

Several spas in other parts of the country have installed salt breathing rooms. And the Florida-based Silesia Group builds salt rooms for private homes and sells portable salt caves for the backyard. "The atmosphere helps regulate your breathing, gets the stress out," says Madzia Stoklosa, whose Megi's Spa Salt Cave in Park...
...with 14:19 remaining in the first half. The Crimson followed with four unanswered goals—including two free-position shots from Martin and unassisted scores from Curtis and Flynn. Halpern helped Flood to complete her hat trick with two minutes left in the half to polish off the six-goal run, putting Harvard up 10-3 at the half. Quinnipiac busted out of the gate in the second half when Valentine connected with Meghan Latonick to slip one past Martino just 1:30 into the frame. The Bobcats continued to test the Crimson’s defense...
