Hampered by penalties and sluggish play for much of the first two periods, Harvard found itself in a 2-1 hole late into...
Some observers in the U.S. and Pakistan are still holding out the possibility that Musharraf's main reason for imposing martial law was to rid himself of his bête noir, the "literalist" Supreme Court led by chief justice Iftikar Chaudhry, who is now under house arrest.

"You're good at this, Bob," someone shouts. "Thought of running again yourself?" Hawke's heard this before. "Been there, done that," he says. "But no one's working harder for the cause...
