...Harvard chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, the Alpha Iota of Massachusetts, last week. Nine of the honored students were economics concentrators—more than twice the number of inductees from any other concentration. And in a departure from most of the chapter’s 225-year, male-dominated history, the group selected this fall is balanced evenly between men and women.

U.S. soldiers who continue to operate in Washash don't believe the ongoing sectarian violence flows just from frictions on the streets there anymore. Instead, they put blame squarely on Mahdi Army operatives from outside the neighborhood, militants who U.S. soldiers say are out to turn Washash into a Shi'ite bastion for al-Sadr on the west side...
