Wittman, seemingly able to sink a shot from anywhere on the court, contributed six treys on the night. The senior demonstrated the value of experience late in the game when he stepped up and stymied Harvard’s 12-0 run by responding to freshman Christian Webster’s momentous three with one of his own. Wittman led all players with 27 points on the night...

Article 76 requires that a candidate be the head of an officially sanctioned political party for at least a year before entering the race. And ElBaradei himself has said that he would run only if the election promised to be free and fair and would be supervised by the judiciary and the international community.
