...worship without state control." The salvo might have been less brazen than when Bill Clinton in 1998 reprimanded then President Jiang Zemin on live TV in Beijing for "the use of force" at Tiananmen Square. But Bush's gesture no doubt delighted his conservative base. After the service, he stood outside the church with his arm around the female minister who had just delivered a sermon on loving one's oppressor. Joined by Laura Bush and U.S. evangelist Luis Palau--and a smiling choir to boot--Bush insisted that the Chinese government "not fear Christians." The President, often portrayed abroad...
...rhythm against Brown yesterday afternoon.Though Harvard (6-2-0, 5-2-0 ECAC) seemed to get its chances on net against the Bulldogs (0-6-0, 0-6-0), firing eight shots in four extra-strength opportunities, the Crimson skaters were unable to find the back of the net.This stood in stark contrast to last Tuesday night’s contest against Boston College, when Harvard tallied three goals on the same number of shots.The Crimson also allowed its first shorthanded goal of the season against Yale, when Bulldog captain Christian Jensen took a feed from linemate Jeff Hristovski...

But many Japanese refused to buy it because of reports of dead rats in sacks of foreign rice and televised taste tests in which participants deemed the strange grains inedible. So shoppers stood in long lines or turned to the black market to buy local rice at outrageous prices instead of cheaper imports. "We see no positive effects of increasing foreign rice imports," says Tomochika Motomura, an official at the general food policy bureau of Japan's Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries...
Chief among those departures was center Jan Fikiel, who, despite his penchant for setting up outside the arc on the baseline and hurling threes, stood a full two and three inches taller than Danley and Zoller, respectively. That height is important in a league that boasts 6’10 Yale center Dominick Martin and 7’0 Harvard center Brian Cusworth. The Quakers currently have no true centers, or any player above 6’8 on their roster, making those matchups with the Crimson and the Bulldogs potentially tenuous...
