Pusar’s first shot of the season, and only shot of the game, was a three-pointer from just beyond the arc, and he added an assist and two steals for the team. But his presence on the court did much more than his stat line might suggest: he brought stability to the game that improved the play of every one of his teammates...
...Nkunda has form - and there is nothing in it to suggest reasonableness.

D'Arcy Kemnitz, executive director of the National Lesbian and Gay Law Association, told TIME that's a fight gays and lesbians are willing to have. After all, she says, courts have traditionally stood up for minority rights, no matter how unpopular...
