...exchange between Schmid and Ryan, on one side, and Wisse, on the other, was a departure from the otherwise upbeat tone at yesterday’s session. “Optimism was the word of the day,” former Provost Jerry R. Green, an economics professor, said. Professor of Anthropology and of African and African American Studies J. Lorand Matory ’82, who had been one of Summers’ most vocal opponents, quipped, “It was almost a love fest...
...outlook for the bullpen is equally muddled and encouraging. Third baseman Steffan Wilson moonlights as the team’s closer, but a handful of able relievers will work to bridge the gap in the middle innings. Submarining junior Jason Brown, who refined his mechanics after a session with big-leaguer Mike Myers this off-season, fellow junior Jake Bruton, and a fully healthy senior Mike Dukovich will all serve as stoppers out of the pen. Freshman Hampton Foushee, another lefty, also expects to see some action, as does cannon-armed senior outfielder Lance Salsgiver (see page...
...Talabani had the support of the two major Sunni parties, as well as the smaller secular alliance for his demand, but it was flatly rejected across the board by Shi'ite politicians.

...University President Lawrence H. Summers a pair of standing ovations in Sanders Theatre this weekend, one year after the president attracted a far frostier reception. Last year’s speech to Harvard parents visiting Cambridge for Junior Parents Weekend was marked by an unusually contentious question-and-answer session focused almost entirely on Summers’ January 2005 remarks on women in science. But on Friday, a visibly supportive audience greeted the president with warm applause and posed friendly questions following his speech. One father, positing that the president’s Feb. 21 resignation was at odds with...
...only by studying those sites in detail and continuing to search for more evidence on land and offshore that these questions can be fully answered. And as always, the most valuable evidence will be the earthly remains of the ancient people themselves. In one 10-day session, Kennewick Man has added immeasurably to anthropologists' store of knowledge, and the next round of study is already under way. If scientists treat those bones with respect and Native American groups acknowledge the importance of unlocking their secrets, the mystery of how and when the New World was populated may finally be laid...
