...here late from Billings, but I'm trying to drive 55 these days. It's nice. You can really appreciate the scenery." In Montana, scenery is for tourists and not a thing that most residents ever talk about. Nor do they boast of driving a hundred miles at the speed of a John Deere tractor hauling hay. I butted in and asked the slowpoke if she had truly enjoyed her drawn-out trip or if it was just a civic-minded experiment inspired by listening to too much public radio. "I did," she insisted, "and I got so much done...
...homebound on the range. Driving back from Bozeman that afternoon, I crunched some more discouraging numbers. I'd always heard that freedom had a price. And soon I'd determined what it was in my case, driving my mammoth, inefficient truck: 30˘ a mile. This meant that my high-speed gallop along the highway was costing me roughly a dollar every two minutes.

After shutting out its first four opponents and giving up four goals in its first eight games, the Harvard defense seemed impenetrable. Yet Duke combined speed, precise passing, and relentless pursuit to great success. Freshman keeper Kelly Knoche, who has been among the nation’s leaders in goals-against average and save percentage all year, made 12 saves on the day, her career high for a single game. "Coming out of this game, I think...
While donations and divestments directly impact the situation on the ground, in the end these are no more than reactive, stop-gap measures. Monetary aid does provide real help to those in need, and provide it faster than the speed of political change, but alone can only mitigate effects and has difficulty reaching the root causes of genocide. Wouldn’t it be better if such efforts were never necessary at all? If genocide prevention were the norm, rather than the exception? This is the ambitious thought behind HDAG’s newest initiative...
