...third place finish in the 800 meter run at Heps last year. Christenson—who has already made her way to the top of the Harvard record books—will look to one-up herself for the third time this season in the high jump. Her current personal best of 1.91 meters is second all-time in program history...
Backers of the current effort have been heartened by the apparent swell of interest in the idea, especially since a similar measure stalled in the Senate two years ago. And crucially, Obama supports the idea, unlike his predecessor. Yet the bill faces an uphill climb, even if it gets to the President's desk.

...case of the current budget, Republicans - who themselves account for 40% of the earmark requests - are howling at what they view as Obama's blatant hypocrisy.

...interviews with TIME, a former Cabinet minister in the government of President Pervez Musharraf and a current senior government official have confirmed that the previous government agreed to allow the CIA to target militants operating on Pakistani soil. Both sources refused to be named because of the sensitivity of the information. "Musharraf gave them the base in Shamsi [in a remote part of Baluchistan] to use for drones, logistics, everything," says the current government official, who insists that the air strikes are "counterproductive" because they inflame public opinion against Islamabad's alliance with Washington. "We have inherited all these problems...
