...Toward the end of last season, Mosley and the teams finally compromised on something called a Resource Restriction Agreement that takes effect this season. It isn't a cap, but it clamps down on runaway costs like wind tunnels and in-season testing.

We strongly believe that the funds that the UC will direct toward improving software and paying students to serve on the Election Commission are better suited for initiatives that can serve more tangible benefits to Harvard students.

The U.S. invasion removed that bulwark, and Iran has profited greatly from Iraqi democracy. The governments elected since Saddam's overthrow have been uniformly friendly toward Tehran and dominated by Shi'ite parties.
