...trying to control pollution as its economy grows at more than 10% a year, workers flood in from other provinces and more than 1,000 cars are added to the road each day. Environmental officials say they have been able to cut emissions and steadily increase the number of "blue sky days," a target based on air pollution levels. But earlier this year an American environmental consultant accused the city of dropping air monitoring stations from highly polluted areas out of the calculations and adding numbers from new stations in cleaner areas. The consultant, Steven Andrews, also says that...
...Democratic leaders who shared power with smaller parties in a establishment of backroom deals and Byzantine rhetoric more likely to confound rather than communicate with real people. But for the past 14 years, the political arena has been dominated by Berlusconi, the neon version of the billionaire in a blue pinstripe suit, making the hard sell in simple, sometimes bawdy language. Some said it was a welcome change from the politics of the past, and he won a short-lived victory in 1994 before his center-right allies turned against him. When he returned for a second term...

The movie is in love with the boys who bleed blue, even as it obsessively details their habit of making others spill crimson. Street Kings lives in the narrow cracks between dedication and derangement, accommodation and corruption, and leaves it to audiences to figure out where their rooting interest lies...
...back to Cambridge, co-captains David MacDonald and Mike Taylor began discussing their hockey futures with coach Ted Donato ’91. Both had had outstanding seasons—Taylor was the leading scorer for the Crimson with 12 goals and 23 assists, while MacDonald anchored a blue-line unit that led the ECAC in scoring defense with just 1.86 goals allowed per conference game. The loss to Princeton in the ECAC championship game was painful, but they couldn’t let it impede their long-term goal: to play professional hockey.“We would rather...
