...high-handed bureaucracy and restore ties with Russia. Many voters hoped that such an alliance would ease the burden of cleaning up after the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster next door in Ukraine, which contaminated almost 23% of Belarus and still costs the government nearly 25% of its meager $3 billion budget. The Batska promised to prevent Russian-style plunder of the new nation by capitalist oligarchs. But voters never imagined he would take them back to the Stalinist past. Once in office, he rolled back privatization, stifled economic reforms, renationalized most banks, stepped up centralized controls and preserved collective farms...

...contest featuring spectacular defensive plays and extended rallies, Harvard gave the Quakers (8-12, 5-4) some trouble but failed to win any games. The Penn defense stonewalled the Crimson attack. Posting 10.5 team blocks and recording 87 digs, the Quakers held Harvard to a meager .098 hitting percentage. “[Penn] had a really strong block,” Blotky said. “It was crippling our offense.” On the other side of the net, McKinley turned in an astounding defensive effort, registering a team-high 20 digs to go along with nine kills...
