With less than three minutes gone in the final period, Quinnipiac sophomore Yuri Bouharevich poked a Greg Holt rebound past Harvard junior netminder Kyle Richter to bring the Bobcats within...
...anything nice to say about Konstantin Feoktistov except maybe that he wasn't a communist. Feoktistov, who died on Nov. 21 at age 83, was part of that cursed group of Soviet cosmonauts who had a troubling habit of beating the Americans to all the great milestones in space: Yuri Gagarin orbited the Earth before John Glenn; Alexei Leonov walked in space before Ed White.

...Yuri Zarakhovich's life was full of skulduggery, danger and crisis. He did, after all, report for TIME as the Soviet empire decayed, fell and tried to resurrect itself as the new Russia.

For now, the Filipino fighter says he is going to spend time with his family. He is also probably going...

Volpi’s account of the shocking socio-political events of the late 20th century percolates through the narrative of Yuri Chernishevsky, whose enigmatic past is gradually unmasked, revealing uncanny links to other characters halfway around the world. Yuri is the common thread among three women who form the epicenter of Volpi’s overly complex tale, but its intricacies only flimsily conceal its lack of narrative integrity. While each...
