...weaker candidate with none of the MDC's momentum and little chance of picking up support from other losing candidates, Mugabe would be extremely unlikely to win a free and fair run-off vote. In the past, that fact alone would have been a cue for repression and rigging. But this year's relatively violence-free campaign suggests many soldiers and policemen are no longer so willing to do their President's dirty work. The MDC still claims the regime fixed many parliamentary seats. But reports in the government's primary organ, the Herald, indicate that the regime has accepted...
...expected the Terrier’s offensive prowess, but it was BU’s defensive game that took Harvard by surprise. “We expected them to have a pretty solid attack,” Bobzin said. “We expected their defense to be weaker and we thought we would score in transition.” On paper, the Terriers were not going to be an easy opponent for Harvard.

...Harvard men’s tennis team has an energy issue, and it has nothing to do with global warming. When the team goes into a match fired up, it produces quality wins against high-caliber teams, but when it goes into a match un-energized, it falls to weaker teams. In its four-match spring-break road trip in southern California, on which the No. 47 ranked Crimson (8-5) went 2-2, the team learned that it can control its own fate: the energy issue is only an energy problem when Harvard doesn’t have enough...

Exports accounted for 36.8% of China's GDP in 2006, compared with 43.2% in South Korea. But China may be unusually vulnerable to weaker international demand because the country has in recent years built too many new factories. With investment capital readily available and China's economy roaring ahead at double-digit growth rates, heavy industry expanded massively. The value of China's steel exports, for example, jumped tenfold between 2003 and 2007, from $5 billion to $50 billion...
