...broken; it is tuned to the interests of Big Money. The transmission is on an encrypted frequency, and it directs the President much like a radio-controlled toy car. Peter Farr Olympia, Washington, U.S. Honoring a World Champion When I turned to your March 6 coverage of the Winter Olympics in Torino, the big story I found was about the doping controversy involving Austrian skiers - nothing about the positive aspects of the Olympics. What about the "clean" participants? What about the results of competitions? There was only a short "People" item on Shizuka Arakawa, the gold medalist in figure skating...
...Joey’s application a second look? Just asking.” These words, uttered by Bob Costas as the Olympics came to a close, epitomize the general media sentiment concerning Joey Cheek and his application to Harvard. Since the news broke in the weeks preceding the 2006 Winter Games, there is nary a newspaper or radio station that hasn’t tried to squeeze an interview out of the recently retired speedskater.And from all the anti-Harvard news that has been generated by writers and talk show hosts around the country, one might think that Cheek?...
Editor’s note: Former Harvard hurler Frank Herrmann ’06, a prospect with the Cleveland Indians, reported to camp in Winter Haven, Fla., in early March. This is his diary.

In the Hollywood version Yushchenko would be an unimpeachable hero and his ousted rival, the former Russia-backed Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych, an unalloyed villain. But parliamentary elections this...
There are certain to be more new rules. For the Governors' winter meeting in Washington a few weeks ago, Huckabee, who opened the conference by leading some of his fellow Governors and their staffs on a 5K run, invited a former fat kid who is also a quadruple-bypass patient to speak. Bill Clinton related to the problem of weight in typical feel-your-pain fashion. The two Arkansas pols, longtime adversaries, have joined together to work toward halting the rise in childhood obesity by 2010 and reversing it by 2015. "Look at Huckabee," Clinton told the Governors...
