Germany's most-wanted fugitive was last seen in a video that appeared on an Islamic Internet site in October. Eric Breininger wore a black and white turban and fired off a quick round of staccato shots with his Kalashnikov rifle, probably somewhere in the hills of Afghanistan or northern Pakistan. At one stage he espoused the cause of jihad against the United States and allies such as Germany...
...long-term fix is to build a new Somalia. Nation-building is something the Bush administration initially shied away from in Afghanistan, allowing the Taliban to regroup, and came round to in Iraq, with mixed and frequently bloody results. China provides a better model for nation-building in Africa, focusing almost wholly on the continent's commercial potential - and, as a byproduct, the stabilizing effects of poverty alleviation - by pumping billions into infrastructure in war-torn territories such as Angola and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Angola is now stable, if horribly corrupt; Congo is still...
...would be no different. It seemed like Bristow, who was a First Team All-American, was not going to be an easy opponent. But West swiftly defeated him 9-0, 9-0, 9-5 to secure a Crimson victory.

Coleman promptly said he would challenge the ruling in court...
...ready for GW.” Its opponent tomorrow, the Colonials, are one of the highest-profile teams the Crimson will play all year. Playing in the Atlantic 10 Conference, three years ago George Washington went 26-2 during the regular season and won a thriller in the first round of the NCAA Tournament against UNC Wilmington before falling against Duke. The team returned to the Tournament again the next year, falling to Vanderbilt in the first round. A year after missing out on postseason action altogether after posting a disappointing 9-17 record, the Colonials...
