...facts, which Baker says is an epidemic in Pakistan. I take strong exception to her observation. She herself has misreported facts while referring to the News. She reports that we published an unbylined story. The fact is that we reproduced a bylined story from Fox News written by Rowan Scarborough, who is also a writer of two books. Our 1,090-word story had 657 words of Rowan's story and 433 words taken from e-mailed comments on the Fox News website. So her calculation that much of our report was based on e-mailed comments is also wrong...
...That kind of reform can happen quickly if the central leadership changes their approach to football and returns it "to the people," says Rowan. "There are senior leaders now asking why Chinese football is in perpetual crisis, and they are looking for solutions. But even if the authorities don't take active steps to encourage private and community-owned networks, it will still happen. It's the people's game."

According to FIFA's 2006 "big count," a survey of all its member associations, there were only 382,762 junior players in China. In England, there...
...mind, an iron will, and a penetrating intellect,” McCormick said. “She was fearless.” Elegantly coiffed and impeccably dressed, Greece’s former deputy secretary of foreign affairs would sweep into class like Pallas Athena herself, said history graduate student Rowan W. Dorin ’07. Laiou would sometimes affix a freshly cut rose to her blouse during her time as director of Dumbarton Oaks, said the research center’s current director Alice-Mary M. Talbot. Laiou “charmed” even the most imposing...
Such criticisms are not confined to temporal seats of power. The Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, has called on the BBC to carry the appeal. John Sentamu, the Archbishop of York, argued that the BBC should focus on humanity, not impartiality. "The situation is akin to that of British military hospitals who treat prisoners of war as a result of their duty under the Geneva Convention," said Sentamu. "They do so because they identify need rather than cause. This is not an appeal by Hamas asking for arms but by the Disasters Emergency Committee asking for relief. By declining their...
