What began as an unremarkable foray into the world of rowing has in retrospect become a launching pad for a successful seven-year career in the sport for lightweight men’s crew captain Jeff Overington. “I started rowing in ninth grade because a few of my friends were doing it, and they needed a fourth guy to row a four,” Overington said. “We had a great coach and won all of our races, so I decided to stick with it.” Early success...

In his successful re-election bid this summer, Cambodian Premier Hun Sen vowed to protect national interests by ensuring that the entire Preah Vihar area remained under Cambodian control. Meanwhile, in Thailand, opposition figures accused former Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej of destroying national sovereignty by not immediately protesting UNESCO's decision. Samak resigned last month, and his successor, who hails from the same political party, will surely be accused of similar weakness if Thailand's troops don't match Cambodian numbers. On Wednesday, Thailand's military T.V. network showed Thai...
