...Crimson cannot afford to force shots. In the loss to Colgate, many Harvard players looked to be trying to do too much to help pick up the slack in Clemente's absence. Against Dartmouth, Harvard will need to showcase better ball movement in order to generate higher-percentage shots...
...Afghans ought to keep their eyes on the skies. The arrest of 13 alleged terrorists linked with Osama Bin Laden in Jordan Wednesday may spell trouble for Afghanistan's ruling Taliban movement. The group, which included Jordanians, an Iraqi and an Algerian, was reportedly trained in Bin Laden's camps in Afghanistan, and had some nasty plans for the New Year - to attack U.S. and Israeli targets in Jordan. The revelations follow Washington's warning to the Taliban on Tuesday that they would be held responsible for any Bin Laden attacks on U.S. targets. The Taliban continues to harbor...
...options," says TIME Washington correspondent Massimo Calabresi. The U.S. fired cruise missiles at Bin Laden's training camps near Kandahar in Afghanistan after last year's terrorist attacks on U.S. embassies in East Africa.

But Barak holds a trump card: Israel continues to pay a heavy price in human life for its occupation...
Musically speaking, Fantasia 2000 is a dumbed-down dud. The performances, mostly by James Levine and the Chicago Symphony, are competent but characterless. The selections are all abridged in one way or another, and some are mangled virtually beyond recognition. The first movement of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, which normally takes between seven and eight minutes, here is over in less than three. The sole exception is the uncut version of The Sorcerer's Apprentice extracted from the original Fantasia, in which Leopold Stokowski hypnotized an anonymous band of Hollywood studio musicians into sounding just like the Philadelphia Orchestra...
