...fully formed state and with images that practically hummed with love for the city and its proletariat. "I was born here, I have always lived here and all my work is here," Yau said in the foreword. In his sense of place, he was to Hong Kong what Robert Doisneau was to Paris - a chronicler in black and white of the sooty streets and ordinary people at his city's heart. But in his consummate sensitivity to the decisive moment, Yau was sometimes reminiscent of the great Henri Cartier-Bresson, and, like the French master, carried wherever he went...

...signal to Americans that the U.S. had done its damnedest before quietly pulling the plug on the enterprise. Bush isn't yet ready to blame anyone else.

He told journalist Robert Draper, author of the new book Dead Certain, that he was counting on Congress to continue a sustained military presence in Iraq through this year and into the presidency of whoever succeeds him. As early as May, Bush told Draper that the moment of truth would come in the fall...
...field while Hoff sent a pass down the wing to junior Mike Fucito. Fucito crossed to Nyamekye in the middle, and with defenders converging in around him, Nyamekye ripped a shot that became Harvard’s second goal of the day. Along with Chi, rookies Robert Millock and Jaren LaGreca also saw action during the season opener.
