...High scores in the round that was played stand as a testament to the challenging conditions. Collectively, the team shot 322, finishing just nine shots back of first place Lewis University in a field of 11 schools. The Crimson was tied with Fairfield University for second place. Junior Michael Shore paced the team with a 77, posting the tournament low. Sophomore Greg Shuman followed with a 79. “I just sort of slapped it around for 18 holes and did all right,” Shore said. “I personally hadn’t touched...
...Bush may be able to help with more than cash. The President's approval numbers are still low, but in an age of micro-targeting, he can help shore up some wavering constituencies. To the extent McCain has trouble turning out the conservative base that still doesn't trust him on sanctity of life issues like stem cell research, Bush may be able to help. He may also prove useful in mobilizing some otherwise despondent conservatives who care particularly about judicial appointments and the courts.

...jazz was still seen as bourgeois and chord charts were hard to come by. Raised by folk-musician parents, he performed with Cui Jian, the father of Chinese rock, before dedicating himself--under the influences of John Coltrane and Miles Davis--to jazz.

...Going with the Flow"] Lusi may, in fact, be unstoppable. In 1979, the oil company Shell set off a similar eruption while drilling off the shore of Brunei. That mudflow took 20 years and 20 relief wells to halt, according to Mark Tingay, a geologist at the University of Adelaide in Australia. Lusi may eventually choke itself as mud clogs its interior plumbing. But if left to die on its own, Davies estimates that it could continue to erupt for years, and perhaps even decades. Hardi Prasetyo, deputy head of the new government team in charge of Lusi, says that...
...qualify the repressive nature of the regime with praise of those supposed advances in medicine and education is unacceptable. Anything that falls short of a free society leaves all other considerations insignificant. It is hard to imagine that 90 miles from our shore, freedoms are alienable. In Cuba, the choice to dissent from the government has dire ramifications. Citizens are imprisoned for merely voicing an opinion. Prisoners of conscience are systematically tortured and often executed for not conforming to the constraints of the totalitarian state—just some of many blatant violations of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights...
