...match the perpetual ECAC powers, the Crimson (2-1-0, 2-1-0) must sift through its first three games—through a sporadic mix of precision and sloppiness, of pinpoint execution and absolute inability to convert. En route to its early record, Harvard outskated Dartmouth 5-2, outfought Princeton 2-1 and just plain could not execute against Quinnipiac in a 5-2 loss. Tomorrow against the Big Red (3-1-0, 2-0-0) and Saturday versus the Raiders (5-1-1, 2-0-0) “we’re going to need our best...
...HEAVYWEIGHT Thai kickboxing twins Maki and Aki didn't see the guitar coming. Billy Chaka, ace investigative reporter for Youth in Asia teen magazine and expert in kung fu, kenpo, Tae-kwondo, jeet kune do, capoeira and "many of the esoteric brands between," outfought the duo with a cherry-red Gibson and plunged back into Tokyo's pulsating streets. His mission: to figure out what a little bird had to do with the deaths of a night porter in Hokkaido and the country's most beloved rock star...
...Premier League championship by an ascendant Arsenal who, days after winning the F.A. Cup, clinched the title by beating Ferguson's stellar team on their own turf at Old Trafford. The winning smile of Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger was that of a man who knew he'd outfought, outthought and outstared soccer's meanest, smartest double-bluff artist. Until now Ferguson has pretty much held the franchise on his own life story in eight autobiographies, and he's not inclined to start cooperating with snooping authors - not even one like Michael Crick, who has been a fanatical supporter...
...attached cinder-block houses on streets barely wide enough for a Toyota, much less a tank. It is home to a fiercely nationalist tradition and some of the Palestinians' most successful terrorists. When the tanks came two weeks ago, Jenin's fighters were surrounded and outgunned but not outfought. In a radio broadcast, Hamas vowed to fight to the death. With the Israeli army busy in Ramallah and elsewhere in the West Bank in late March, the Palestinians had nearly a week to organize a defense--on their own turf, on their own terms. The slope of the camp favored...
...lackey for America by political enemies. Of more worry, the Philippines carries a reputation as a terrorist and money-laundering locale. A bin Laden brother-in-law helped set up Abu Sayyaf, the gratuitously violent separatist group from the southern island of Mindanao. To date, Abu Sayyaf has outfought, outsmarted and, on occasion, paid off Philippine law enforcement. It is well funded, well armed and, observers fear, primed for regional expansion. A Philippine problem is now a world problem, and Arroyo is hoping for a world solution. The Catholic Church is calling for reconciliation, while others preach temperance. "We should...
