Already in Kenya was Ban's predecessor, Kofi Annan, who is mediating negotiations between President Mwai Kibaki's government and the opposition Orange Democratic Movement of Raila Odinga, who claims that Kibaki's associates stole the vote through massive vote rigging. Nelson Mandela's wife, Graca Machel, who is a U.N. expert on humanitarian issues as well as a former First Lady of Mozambique, has flown in to help bring the parties together. Former Tanzanian President Benjamin Mpaka is here, Ghana's President John Kufuor came...

They chased another down a narrow mud alley and, when he slipped, beat him to death with rocks, then stole his wallet and shoes. There was nothing on the body to identify him, no one in the area knew him, and within hours he joined hundreds of corpses at mortuaries across Kenya, awaiting claim. Unknown. But not forgotten...
...away and cut the lead down to six at 44-38 with 14:45 remaining off a bank-shot by guard Kyle Roemer, but the home team responded with an 11-0 run. Housman hit two free throws to start the stretch, then sophomore guard Dan McGeary stole a pass and went in for a fast-break lay-up. Unger followed with a long jumper, then Lin drove to the basket for a lay-up and a foul. He missed the free throw, but Harvard would come back as Housman hit his second three of the game...
