Sophomore Zac Bradley, an outfielder, was also injured in the crash and is not playing baseball this season. Grass and Burnat were pitchers—Grass, a long reliever, Burnat seldom used. Between the three, Bradley—who was among the team’s leaders in stolen bases last season and likely would have started this year—was probably the most important contributor on the field for Yale baseball. But the emotional impact of losing two teammates, for obvious reasons, drastically alters the complexion of a season, no matter how often they played...

Saddam has seen these before, during the Gulf War. They seldom miss their target - something that Iraqi civilians are banking on as they brace themselves for war. In Baghdad, when asked why they were not building shelters, most Iraqis shrug and say that the missiles never struck civilian areas unless they were mistaken for defense targets. Fighter jets, loaded with smart...
