...wild card, of course, is Harvard’s quarterback situation. While the Tigers’ signal-calling is a model of consistency under senior Jeff Terrell, the Crimson can’t reliably say who is going to start from week to week. There was the induction, injury, and comeback of Chris Pizzotti, the Jeff Witt interlude, the abortive Richard Irvin experiment, and now Liam O’Hagan’s return from suspension...
...that doesn't mean Beijing is on the same page as Washington over how to handle the crisis. Where Secretary Rice defines the meaning of the sanctions as the international community moving to "collectively isolate" North Korea, Beijing appears to have something quite different in mind. "Sanctions are the signal, not the goal," said a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman on Thursday, in a statement that appeared to criticize the U.S. for seeking to "expand" the sanctions from those adopted by the Security Council.

Kraninger, for her part, is betting millions of Americans won't mind having a government-issued radio transmitter in their pockets if it'll save time at the border. Hundreds of thousands of Americans use the same technology every day in their cars to drive through the fast lanes at tollbooths. "It's the same risk people...
