...comes down to this, going on the road for a high-stakes regular season finale. It will be no easy task, but history is on the Crimson’s side. While Rutgers-Newark has not played since April 3—a loss to last-place Sacred Heart—its opposition is currently on a six-match win streak in conference play. In fact, Harvard’s most recent win, which clinched a share of the division title, was a 3-1 victory over Sacred Heart last Saturday...

...Once talks begin, the U.S. ought to be willing to put a range of blandishments on the table - just as it has in the past. Economic aid, security guarantees and, down the road, even diplomatic recognition for North Korea - all that would be available to Pyongyang, so long as it verifiably stands down its nuclear program and curbs its missile exports. The State Department's position has long been that this sort of deal is achievable.
