...interviews with TIME, Crist and his new campaign manager, former chief of staff Eric Eikenberg, described a counterattack for 2010 that will emphasize Crist's conservative bona fides while casting doubt on those of Rubio - who recently conceded to a Florida television station that he too would have taken Obama's stimulus money. At the same time, Crist will try to avoid giving the impression - as he did often this year, especially as he acrobatically tried to distance himself from the stimulus - that he's cynically apologizing for his moderate principles in order to win conservative voters who may well...
Unfortunately for Harvard, another Maryland counterattack proved costly. With freshman defender Richard Smith up-field for a set piece, the Crimson was left shorthanded at the back in the 78th minute. The Terrapins moved the ball to the left, and, from about 30 yards out, midfielder Billy Cortes shifted the ball onto his right foot, before placing it into the bottom right corner...

Saakashvili told me he never expected the U.S., Georgia's closest ally, to fight for Georgia. Yet the country was nonetheless gripped by a sense of abandonment when the inevitable punishing Russian counterattack came. The Russians bombed infrastructure targets all over Georgia and cut off the main east-west highway, then marched to within 34 miles (55 km) of Tbilisi before turning back. Georgians felt betrayed. As one told me, "We were looking at the skies constantly, asking, Where are the goddam Americans...
