Still shaking off a tough 70-55 loss at Princeton the night before, Harvard came sluggishly...

The lax security measures stand in sharp contrast to the isolation of prisoners kept at American-controlled facilities in Guantanamo Bay and around the globe. For its part, the Embassy of Yemen in Washington, D.C., did not return calls for comment. The U.S. is working closely with Saudi Arabia to find the escapees, said Townsend, a number...
