What would an older, time-tempered King think if he had lived to see today's world, with its black governors, black CEOs and Barack Obama? "You've made significant progress," King's close associate Andrew Young imagines him saying, "but you've still got a long...
...what it is supposed to do, and what each of its members is expected to contribute to its mission. Nearly two decades after the end of the cold war - which NATO decisively won without firing a shot in anger - the business of refocusing the alliance remains a work in progress. NATO forces are involved in peacekeeping in the Balkans, and its political leaders are concerned with extending its membership (in the teeth of Russian opposition) to post-Soviet states such as Georgia and Ukraine.

...just uncertainty about the legitimacy of the new research that rankles. It's also the fact that most of our research is probably legitimate, but unfortunately real doubt is being cast on the basic truths and actual progress of our practice.

If the fighting spreads to other southern cities and attacks by Shi'ite militias increase, intra-Shiite violence may be the wrench that jams the whole works...
...match in his hands and then served out an emotional last game to put the Crimson seemingly in control, 3-1. Unfortunately, the tension would rise after freshman Alexei Chijoff-Evans dropped six singles 6-4, 6-3. With two close matches still in progress, Harvard needed to take at least one to earn victory. Clayton and Ermakov did not shift focus as quickly as their teammates and, after dropping their opening sets at first and third singles, these upperclassmen knew they needed a maximum length match to get the win. Kumar had complete confidence in his teammates...
