...American, indicted on questionable charges of involvement in an alleged al-Qaeda plot to assassinate President George W. Bush, faces another tough challenge: the puzzling vagaries of post-9/11 U.S. justice. The son of Jordanian immigrants from Falls Church, Va., Abu Ali was arrested in a security sweep on June 9, 2003, while taking an exam at the Islamic University of Medina. He then languished for months in a Saudi jail. He was interrogated and, his family claims, tortured.

Colgate, also paired with Clarkson and St. Lawrence this weekend, sits just one point behind the Crimson and would likely leapfrog Harvard with any slipup, as the Raiders own the first tiebreak—head-to-head competition, in which they hold a 2-0 edge...

After the Bulldogs tore the league-leading—and previously undefeated—Quakers apart last Saturday night for their fourth-straight win, it appeared that Yale had enough momentum to make a late charge at the title. But after a flat performance against Brown in a 70-64 loss Tuesday night, the Bulldogs limped back to the pack and currently sit a half-game ahead of Harvard in third place...
