MONROVIA -- The civil war in Liberia is about hatred: personal hatred based on political rivalry, brutally used to turn tribe against tribe. Charles Taylor, head of the rebel National Patriotic Liberation Front, and President Samuel Doe, the harsh ruler of the country's 2.5 million people for the past decade, loathe each other. Says Taylor: "The only good Doe is a dead Doe." In the past eight months Taylor's 10,000-member army has overrun most of the country, leaving only small pieces of Monrovia, the capital, in Doe's control and setting the Gio tribe, which supports Taylor...

Creating yet more violence, Prince Yormie Johnson, a Gio, split away from Taylor last February.

Taylor was forced into exile in 2003 as part of a deal to end Liberia's civil war but is said to have breached the terms by meddling in Liberian politics. A war-crimes tribunal in Sierra Leone accuses him of fueling a civil war in that country. Liberia's President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf has said she will send Taylor to Sierra Leone...
...shipped it back to linemate Josh Soares. The winger fired a wrister from the blue line, floating it through traffic and past Crimson goaltender John Daigneau’s glove at 8:16. The early score seemed to wake Harvard up. Just 1:16 later, sophomore forward Mike Taylor tallied the equalizer for the Crimson, putting away the rebound of linemate Nick Coskren’s shot. But Maine’s offense, still firing on all cylinders, answered with a second goal less than half a minute later, as blueliner Bret Tyler converted on a wraparound attempt...
