...young team is a good thing,” Tachibana said. “We have a couple years to bond and build on one another.”“This is a huge opportunity for young players to step up and take a lead role,” Green said. “It was definitely a big loss, losing Ko, an All-Ivy player, and Peterzan, our former captain and great Ivy talent, but our young players, especially freshmen, really stepped it up this first weekend.”Harvard controlled the tournament last weekend, coming...
Iran's neighbors could play a decisive role in determining whether any sanctions aimed at curbing Tehran's nuclear ambitions are effective - and one Iran neighbor from whom the U.S. should expect little support on the issue is Pakistan.

...With the center-left opposition all but nonexistent in Italy's Parliament, everyone is on the lookout for potential Judases within the ruling majority's ranks. And as far as the Italian media are concerned, Gianfranco Fini, president of Parliament's lower house, is filling that role nicely. The local paper in Bologna, Il Resto del Carlino, like others in Italy, offers daily updates on a brewing feud between Berlusconi and Fini, the most powerful right-wing politician from this traditionally left-leaning city. Last week, Fini demanded "more democracy" within the center-right coalition and lashed out at Berlusconi...
