Many Western governments warn their nationals of a threat of terrorism; women are expected to wear loose clothes covering their legs, arms and head; streets are chaotic; and there are few starred hotels and restaurants.

There is a balance between playing aggressively and playing timidly, and for yet another weekend, the Harvard women’s volleyball team was unable to strike that balance.The Crimson (3-15, 0-8 Ivy) could not sustain its momentum after encouraging starts against both Cornell and Columbia this weekend at the Malkin Athletic Center, and as a result, stayed winless against Ivy competition. “Some of the players had hit probably the best they’ve hit this season,” Harvard coach Jennifer Weiss said. “We did a lot of good...
