...first two tournaments of the year, the squad looked impressive, but success came to a halt this week after a number of injuries prevented players from competing. “All around, we’ve just played a lot of tennis, and those matches are taking their toll on everyone,” co-captain Laura Peterzan said. “People have gotten injured and had to pull out [this weekend].” Due to the overwhelming number of setbacks, only three Crimson players—freshmen Samantha Gridley, Holly Cao, and Camille Jania—were...
...reporters traveling with her, no appearances on The View to stare down Joy Behar. Rather than playing to her strengths as a fresh face in an unendurably long campaign, they hid her away in a kind of conspicuous vote of no-confidence - which, one can only imagine, took a toll on her. I was struck watching her in St. Paul, where she appeared after five days of relentless media pressure and blew the doubts away, that she had the jauntiness of one who knew her own gifts: knew she could connect to a crowd and raise the roof and stomp...
...Russem was initially worried that there wouldn’t be enough demand for the course. But after registration closed Sunday night and there were enough applications to fill the class three times over, his concern turned to the Press itself.

...bloody struggle for independence in 1971 when the territory of East Pakistan severed its unnatural bonds with then West Pakistan, a thousand miles away on the other side of India.

Ask people in Dhaka today and they'll tell you the true figure of Bengali civilians murdered by West Pakistani troops and death squads guided by collaborators was three times that. Bangladesh sits atop an alluvial plain, so those bent on genocide needed only to dump bodies...
Even by Chinese standards, this month's carnage has been extraordinary. First came a mudslide that obliterated much of a mining village in the province of Shanxi on Sept. 8. The official death toll was 265, but some Chinese media reports - soon suppressed - said it may have been much higher. The incident was blamed on corruption and failed regulatory oversight and resulted in the resignations of the province's governor and his deputy (they resigned without being charged with a specific crime). Soon after, three accidents in coal mines killed another 79 people, and a disco fire - once again blamed...
