...time since he last allowed a goal. Harvard’s sophomore goaltender led the men’s hockey team to two shutout victories over league opponents in its first weekend at home. The No. 19 Crimson beat No. 16 Rensselaer, 3-0, Friday night and defeated Union, 4-0, on Saturday. Richter impressed the home crowd with a total of 55 saves on the weekend—28 against the Engineers and 27 against the Dutchmen. He has stopped 115 of the last 116 shots he has faced and earned both league and national recognition for his play...
...five economists seemed upbeat about the resumption of growth worldwide and relieved that investment is picking up and confidence appears to be returning to both consumers and business. But while the U.S. focuses on jobs and obsesses about the emergence of China as a low-cost economic colossus, European Union nations have turned inward. They are preoccupied by the addition of 10 new E.U. members this year, by the tussle over a new European Constitution and by the collapse of the Growth and Stability Pact, which imposed rigid discipline--overly rigid, critics say--on governments to curb deficits.

...shame: Poland may be the most underappreciated destination in Europe. From the meticulously reconstructed old square in Warsaw to medieval Cracow and the white sand beaches of the Baltic, the country boasts some of Central Europe's most unexpected pleasures.

...poor at symbolizing ourselves. Many of us would like to snip the Union Jack off our flag, but no one can agree on a new design. Our official Olympic mascots and emblems are kitsch, climaxing last month in the Great Medal Screwup. It turned out that all the Olympic medals, the bronze and the silver as well as the gold, had been designed to feature not the Parthenon in Athens, not even the Temple of Zeus at Olympia, but the Colosseum in Rome, less noted for Olympic-style friendship than for gladiatorial butchery. What the hell, the officials...
...linkage between nations. The Australia Act of 1986 formally defined Britain as a foreign country. Australia's economic links to Britain, though not insignificant, are small and dwindling in comparison with its trading ties to the Near North, once known as the Far East. Britain is in the European Union, and will act in accordance with its interests there, giving no priority to Australia. Australians who feel they are British because they speak English are fooling themselves but no one else. You can no longer "be" Australian and, without conflict, "feel" British. The two nations are too far apart...
