That was a credit to our offense, too—we possessed the ball and did a good job of controlling the game in the fourth quarter.” But it was the league that turned out to be Harvard’s downfall, as the team opened the Ivy campaign with the seniors’ first-ever loss to Penn. Freshman phenom Dean Gibbons peaked at the right moment, giving the Crimson a shot in games against a tough schedule that included eventual tournament teams Denver and perennial...

What we're seeing instead is a shriveling of grassroots support, Sunni Muslims turning against al-Qaeda and its messianic, dualistic way of looking at the world. It hasn't gone unnoticed in the Middle East that al-Qaeda has killed more Muslims than nonbelievers. Or that al-Qaeda has failed to take an inch of ground in the name of Islam.
