...about half my time outside the U.S., and I have to say that in many ways, like Bernard Kouchner, I think that the magic is gone. You want modern transportation systems? Try France or Japan. New airports? Half the cities of Asia. The old assumption that American culture would sweep the planet no longer holds good. In Africa and Asia, they don't cluster round TVs to watch baseball's World Series, but they do hang on every minute of every football game in the European Champions League...
...Championship game, send the winner to the Division 1-AA playoffs, and reduce carbon emissions.HARVARD (4-1, 1-1 Ivy) AT PRINCETON (2-3, 1-1 Ivy)Harvard’s toughest competition so far has come from its three non-conference foes, and the team executed an impressive sweep of Holy Cross, Lafayette, and Lehigh. The bizarre 24-22 loss at Brown in which it took a combination of torrential downpours, a plethora of fumbles, and a missed extra point to get the Bears past Harvard may hurt the Crimson in its quest for a second straight Ivy League...

Current co-captain Michael Fucito had two goals and three assists in the match. Harvard went on to sweep the rest of the league schedule and claim the Ivy title. But last year Brown was able to exact revenge on the Crimson in a 3-2 overtime win. Harvard was twice able to come from behind in the second half, but a goal early in overtime propelled the Bears...
...look at the sweep of this election year, you can see how everything funnels down to the basic question of Barack Obama. This is a "change" year if ever there was one. McCain can't help it that fewer than 10% of Americans believe the country is on the right track - the lowest number since polls were invented...
