Despite Hall’s success against Harvard, the Crusaders’ most potent weapon might be on special teams. Wide receiver/returner Ari Confesor has been unstoppable in the return game this year. The junior already has 500 all-purpose yards this season, 327 of which came in the Crusaders’ win over Army. Confesor had a school-record 209 yards on kick returns—including one 95-yard return for a touchdown—83 yards rushing and 34 yards receiving. Despite only one punt-return yard against Army, Confesor still averages 18.8 yards a return...

Pakistan's strongman has a potent ally in the U.S., which has enlisted his support in the fight against al-Qaeda. While the U.S. State Department expressed "concern" over Musharraf's constitutional changes, President George W. Bush remained steadfastly in his corner. "He's still tight with us in the war against terror, and that's what I appreciate," Bush said. Pakistani opposition groups argue that stronger democracy?not a stronger dictator?will be Washington's best bulwark against terror...
