...Zuma's victory may be less a result of his own appeal as a candidate than it is is testament to the ire that President Thabo Mbeki arouses among the ANC rank and file. Discipline, once a hallmark of the organization in its days as an underground guerrilla movement, was in scant evidence at a conference whose delegates appeared to be in a state of open revolt, booing and whistling at Mbeki during his opening speech, drowning out Mbeki allies by singing songs in support of Zuma, and delaying the leadership vote for two days in arguments over procedure. Mbeki...
...education. In popular perception, the aloof and bookish Mbeki's exclusion of Zuma from the government was an echo of the exclusion of South Africa's poor from the fruits of South Africa's boom.

And just 6:16 into the game, the Crimson (11-1-0, 9-0-0 ECAC) began to lose its grip on the top spot. Wildcats forward Courtney Birchard capitalized just 17 seconds into a power play to give UNH (17-3-0, 9-0-0 Hockey East) an early 1-0 lead en route to a 4-1 victory. “They exploited...
...Bright Hockey Center in December 2005, and the Wildcats ran away from an inexperienced Harvard squad in the third period of a 5-1 victory in Durham the following month. The two New England foes returned to the Whittemore Center when No. 8 Harvard drew top-ranked UNH in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. The Wildcats overmatched the Crimson—minus its three Olympians—in a 3-1 triumph. Last year, then-No. 4 Harvard squandered a 3-1 third-period lead to then-No. 3 UNH in a 3-3 tie at Bright Hockey...
