...comfortable out there even though these are tough games because there are so few chances.”Equally impressive, though very different, was the performance of Vitt’s counterpart—Union’s Alex Zirbel. Zirbel faced relentless pressure from the Harvard offense and wound up with 51 stops, many of them sprawling or diving saves from close range. “She’s really good,” Stone said. “She made some tough shots look easy by playing the angles very well. It helps that their head coach...
...While the early stories tend to be reminiscences told in a straightforward style that offers the reader a fly-on-the-wall perspective, Tyler's work really blossoms, so to speak, in the final third of the book. Created mostly after her child-rearing duties wound down, the colors explode and the work becomes more poetic, but still real and funny. One standout piece, called "My American Labels" (which also appears in Roadstrips, a fine new anthology of American cartoonists published by Chronicle Books) reads as a series of long panels designed to be affixed over cans of beans.

Pentagon officials routinely characterize anti-insurgent operations around Iraq as great victories.

And later, as the frame wound down, St. Lawrence got another 16 seconds of 5-on-3 sandwiched between a Charlie Johnson holding call and a minor for tripping—Mike Taylor served it for Tobe—that carried over into the third. “Most of the night,” Donato...
...economic management, like reforming their tax-collection systems and building decent schools. "Everyone loves money that flows in with no fiscal implications," says Devesh Kapur, a specialist on migration and professor of government at the University of Texas in Austin. "They see it as a silver bullet." But bullets wound; and skilled workers often understandably put the interests of their families before those of their countries, choosing to work abroad so they can send remittances back home. About eight out of 10 college graduates from Haiti and Jamaica live outside their countries, and about half the college graduates of Sierra...
