What is certain is that the next head of government will inherit rampant corruption, stagnant oil exports, a crumbling infrastructure, deadly insurgencies (on Friday and Saturday alone, five suicide bombings killed more than 120 people), an Iraqi army riddled with factional militiamen and a police force suspected of conniving in sectarian violence. A case in point is last week's discovery by U.S. forces of 173 prisoners at an Interior Ministry bunker. The majority of them were believed to be Sunni and several reportedly showed signs of torture or starvation. It has only increased the public perception that the Interior...

Sophomore Michael Byrd also had three goals for Harvard, Garcia netted two, and Voith had one.“Little Byrd has proven himself to be a big player in the water, able to shut down strong offensive...
...Create a National Institute of Science and Engineering, like the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Funding for the nih has quadrupled since the 1980s, from $7 billion to $28 billion. "That's why we lead in pharmaceuticals and medical technology." Funding for science has been stagnant-about $5 billion-during that period. "I'd quadruple it and concentrate on nanotechnology, broadband and energy...
