...said. The Crimson took a 33-24 lead into halftime, thanks in part to sophomore forward Pat Magnarelli’s 11 points and six rebounds in the first 20 minutes, and expanded its cushion to 18 with 14:11 remaining in regulation. But the Anteaters, aided by a rash of Harvard turnovers, stormed back.

Military forces have been battling an Islamist militia led by a radical cleric determined to establish Sharia law in the region.

...possible immunity offer, which were first reported Monday by the Associated Press, Henry Waxman, chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform that is investigating Blackwater, fired off a letter Tuesday to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice raising a series of issues. As Waxman puts it: "This rash grant of immunity was an egregious misjudgment.
