...problem, in other words, is with Dexter's ideas, not its gore. This is disturbing if you'd rather control your own remote, thank you very much. But at least it's refreshing. TV-decency campaigns are only nominally about nipples, blood and curses. Ultimately, they're about the messages that "our children"--read: other people's children--are exposed...
...WTUS had "significant shortfalls" in key positions. At Fort Knox, more than half the squad-leader positions--those most responsible for Cassidy's well-being--were unfilled. An Army report on TBI released in January also offered a grim assessment, finding "no specific standards" for dealing with the TBI problem, "major gaps" in coordinating care and "no medical-provider core competencies." Now the Army is rushing to catch up, setting up screening tools and treatment plans to deal with TBI and a "center of excellence" dedicated to the challenge...
...Kane quandary illustrates some of the problems with the Academy Awards: political pressure, suspicion of outsiders, resistance to innovation.

If a candidate in addition has a personality that gives the opposition fits, or a few character flaws it deplores, that is gravy. Indeed, since Ronald Reagan (who last ran for office a quarter-century ago), the parties haven't even liked their own candidates all that much. The dilemma...
...they try very hard,” West said. “A lot of the matches could have gone either way. But I think that mentally we were weaker than Yale.” The Crimson is also a comparatively young team, which has been a problem for Harvard all season. Its starting lineup is composed of four freshmen: J. Reed Endresen, Richard Hill, Eliot Buchanan, and Shawn Low. Harvard does not have a core of veterans that it has had in years past. “Having such a young team definitely effects...
