And his critics, who call him a neo-Fidel Castro, still have to acknowledge that he's been thrice democratically elected. (Vote on Chávez in the TIME 100 poll...
...serene confines of Nawaz Sharif's sprawling Lahore estate belie his tumultuous career. He has thrice been Prime Minister of Pakistan, only to be exiled for seven years, returning recently to help his erstwhile rivals defeat a common nemesis, General Pervez Musharraf.

The Braves outscored the Phils 33 to 23; their hitters had a much higher batting average (.274 to .227), their pitchers...
Understandably, Harvard will not wish to apply the “unlimited” standard to guests (surely my friends in the area would show up thrice a day), but all I ask for is a number of get-out-of-hunger-free passes for visitors stopping by our delightful university. That would surely let me hang up my burglary skills for good and fill my friends’ stomachs instead...
