...Ancient Eight crown sort of resembles a slightly more important race than the other one taking place right now.We have Harvard and Yale, the two top dogs, or candidates, if you will, still pretty much neck and neck and drawing all the attention. Harvard holds the lead in the polls, receiving 19 votes in the NCAA FCS Coaches poll as opposed to Yale’s three, but it’s still anybody’s ballgame.Then there’s Brown, a team that looks like it might make a run but in all likelihood will back...

But many Bangladeshis worry that in his haste to stage the poll, he has undermined the anti-corruption drive: Zia and Hasina have been released on bail, to ensure that their parties participate in the polls.
