...with my best friends, in the mud and cold of a cool Friday September night. It continued with my family’s alma mater, the Univesity of Virginia, getting their crap rocked by previously un-victorious (?) Duke in ACC play, and it ended with “the slip felt (read, heard, who knows) round the world,” as Harvard fell to Brown, whose mascot is the Bears, whose poop smells so freaking bad. By extension, Brown smells like bear poop. Brown stinks. Logic v. Brown: logic always wins!!!!Let’s start with the worst...
...close as 23-22, Dartmouth pulled away, and Big Green junior Morgan Covington ended the frame with a kill. Not allowing Dartmouth to take advantage of the momentum, the Crimson redoubled its efforts in the third, trouncing the Big Green 25-14. Unlike the second, Harvard did not slip up following its victory and closed out the match with a 25-22 win in the fourth. The Crimson was led by a consistent defense that held Dartmouth to a .199 hitting percentage. Sophomore Mikaelle Comrie and freshman Sandra Lynne Fryhofer made big contributions with 12 and 10 kills, respectively. However...

South Africa remains bound by its proximity and local trade deals with Zimbabwe, in addition to its role as a neutral mediator in African politics...
...blather and chicanery. But there are rules and traditions too. In the early weeks of the general-election campaign, a consensus has grown in the political community - a consensus that ranges from practitioners like Karl Rove to commentators like, well, me - that John McCain has allowed his campaign to slip the normal bounds of political propriety. The situation has gotten so intense that we in the media have slipped our normal rules as well. Usually when a candidate tells something less than the truth, we mince words. We use euphemisms like mendacity and inaccuracy ... or, as the Associated Press...
