...Harvard’s biggest question is at quarterback, but junior Collier Winters will have plenty of experienced targets at receiver in his first collegiate start. The running corps remains fully intact from last year’s Ivy-leading offense. Defensively, the Crimson will have to contend with the loss of six All-Ivy starters, but a senior-heavy front seven and a seasoned secondary leaves Harvard in good shape against a league with few veteran quarterbacks...
...Choi, who has taken classes at the Harvard Extension School, spoke after receiving the first annual Service to Humanity award from the Humanist Chaplaincy at Harvard, an honor bestowed on a Harvard student who has shown leadership in ethical service to others. During his speech and the question-and-answer session that followed, Choi went from cracking jokes about being mentioned on the Daily Show to passionately demanding that Democratic politicians act on the desires of the gay community.

He said, however, that one "live possibility" is the idea of adding a so-called trigger that would create a public plan if private insurance companies fail to do enough...
...There's also the question of how Noordin was able to elude capture for so long, operating with impunity across the Indonesian archipelago but presumably spending much of his time on the populated island of Java. Unlike, say, parts of Pakistan's frontier, where central authorities don't dare to roam because of tribal activity, Java is firmly under Indonesian control. Yet a network of Islamic militants and sympathizers kept the Malaysian shielded, while he resided in several villages. Reports even trickled out of Noordin's recent marriages to young women in Java, one in the aftermath of the July...
