...over the charging Penn goalie for a one-goal lead. Tornaritis notched his second goal of the game—and 12th of his career—late in the second half to give the Crimson the decisive lead. He finished his career with one more goal than his twin brother and teammate, Anthony. “They have been big players for us their entire careers and they really put this program on the map,” Kerr said. “Last year, they had 17 goals between the two of them. This year, things were...
Ongoing studies of identical twins have measured achievement motivation--lab language for ambition--in identical siblings separated at birth, and found that each twin's profile overlaps 30% to 50% of the other's. In genetic terms, that's an awful lot--"a benchmark for heritability," says geneticist Dean Hamer of the National Cancer Institute. But that still leaves a great deal that can be determined by experiences in infancy, subsequent upbringing and countless other imponderables...
...year-end interviews that would let the President and Mrs. Clinton focus on the budget victory, the come-from-behind NAFTA triumph and next year's campaign on health care.

...knack for politics must run in the family. After Jaroslaw Kaczynski led his Law and Justice Party to victory in Poland's parliamentary elections last month, his identical twin brother Lech was elected President last week.

The Kaczynskis' appeal is due in large part to their promises to maintain social programs threatened by their...
...explosive pointed to Lashkar-e-Toiba (LET), a Pakistan-based group with ties to al-Qaeda that carries out regular attacks in Indian-administered Kashmir and across India. LET was behind a gun attack on the Indian Parliament in New Delhi in December 2001, and linked to a twin bomb attack on India's financial capital, Bombay, in August 2003. While last week's bombs were likely to have been too long in the planning to be an attempt to disrupt Indo-Pak relief cooperation in the wake of the Kashmir earthquake, they will inevitably dampen the spirit of reconciliation...
