These achievements, Kagame admits, are because "we are doing what we should have been doing in the first place." They are driven by the imperative of never returning to genocide: make people prosperous enough and build business relations between them, says Kagame, and "they value each other, rather than kill each other." Nevertheless, simply by doing what should be done, but generally isn't, Rwanda makes itself unique. "We all know the list," says Ruxin.

And like the AV-8, it may also kill a lot of Marines while doing little of note on the battlefield. Since 1971, more than a third of Harriers have crashed, killing 45 Marines in 143 accidents. But there's a critical difference between the two warplanes. Each Harrier carries a single pilot, nestled into an ejection seat with...
...looking to improve its record to .500, but the Huskies defense proved too much for the Crimson hitters. Despite getting out-blocked 8-4, however, Harvard managed 75 digs to Northeastern’s 71 digs. Senior Laura Mahon led the Crimson offense, recording a double-double with 22 kills and 12 digs. Classmate Mimi Hanley supplied an additional 12 kills on 29 attempts. Sophomore Lily Durwood and junior Laura Mays shared setting duties, registering 29 and 18 assists, respectively. “[Mahon is] really smart with the ball,” Weiss said. “She?...
