...Missed Opportunity? As Nancy Gibbs put it, the city of New York prevented Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad from laying a wreath at ground zero because New Yorkers were revolted by "the prospect of a tyrant's hand touching sacred ground" [Oct. 8]. I do not want to discuss how many tyrants the U.S. has tolerated vs. how many it has fought. But wouldn't it have been good diplomatic form to have allowed Ahmadinejad to lay a wreath in honor of all the 9/11 victims killed by Islamic fanatics? What kind of impact would his gesture have made...
...More Than Zero "I'm sorry," as Arenas likes to write, but I'm not done with his score-settling, trash-talking, philosophical-waxing Agent Zero Blog, which is not only the best sports blog on the Web, but the best blog, period.

Although the fear factor has brought huge revenue windfalls, al-Attiya said, Qatar has no wish for further...

Wouldn't it have been good diplomatic form to have allowed Ahmadinejad to lay a wreath in honor of all the 9/11 victims killed by Islamic fanatics? What kind of impact would his gesture have had on dogmatic, anti-Western Muslims? Maybe New Yorkers should have waved the flag of peace first and waited to see what might...
...best way of judging future performance. Neither of the last two Ivy Rookies of the Year, Adam Gore and Ryan Wittman from Cornell, received any stars. And while two players from Penn’s four-player 2003 class were three-star recruits, the other two, who combined for zero stars, were Mark Zoller and Ibrahim Jaaber, the two best players in the league last season. But for Harvard fans who have seen their team come up short against the better teams in the league on too many occasions, the influx of such talent surely indicates Amaker has the program...
