...President Charles Taylor: As soon as the international forces get here, I think it's time to go. There are thousands of people in this country that are upset, that do not understand this at all. I'm not sure Africa understands this. The African union doesn't understand this. Because these calls, these harsh calls, were not coming from the African continent. So leaving a bloody civil war, leaving a void is not the thing to do. President Obasanjo (of Nigeria) did not take this action (of offering Taylor asylum) alone.

Infanticide is just one of the many ethical compromises forced upon China's doctors by an authoritarian government. Obstetricians under orders from bureaucrats perform late-term abortions, and psychiatrists commit sane political dissidents to mental institutions. In March and April, hundreds of doctors knew that Party officials were risking lives by denying the scope...
...testament to Harvard coach Peter Brand, who in just four years has turned the program around and into a rising powerhouse. As a result, it will be impossible for the Crimson to score an upset nearing this magnitude anytime in the near future. The rest of the college fencing world now knows what to expect, and anything Harvard does next year will not be completely unexpected...
