...term burst of offense for Penn with another mid-range dagger.On a night where jumpers came easy and threes came cheap, Lin and Unger each had 21 points to lead all scorers. Unger shot 50 percent from the floor, including threes, and both players augmented their scoring hauls with six rebounds.Despite a poor shooting night, junior guard Drew Housman efficiently ran the floor, racking up eight assists on only two turnovers. More surprisingly, the 6’0” point guard amassed a game-high 11 rebounds. Success for the Crimson could partially be attributed to the lack...
...will the journey be as momentous for the North Korean and American diplomats who will meet on the sidelines of this week's concert? Unlikely. Though the U.S. State Department has been resolutely (critics would say bizarrely) upbeat about the nuclear agreement Pyongyang signed in the so-called six-party talks last year, even Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice tried to temper the optimism surrounding the orchestra's visit.

The most recent polls show Fillon's popularity surging seven percentage points to 57% - a record-setting 19% gap between a French president and his hand-picked prime minister. Fillon was belittled as staid, wonkish and boring during Sarkozy's glittering first six months in power, but now he is enjoying a reputation as a solid, industrious executor of policy who tends to shun the bright lights now trained on the president. Perhaps there's a lesson there for Sarkozy...
