...profile.”Harvard will need a strong performance if it is to beat the Terriers tonight. The Crimson have not beaten BU since the 2000-01 season, losing its last six, including a 79-72 setback last year. Leading the Terriers, who sport a 3-2 record entering tonight, is junior guard Corey Lowe, who scored a game-high 23 points in the meeting last year. He is averaging 17.2 points per game and is the biggest weapon in a talented BU backcourt.“He’s a really, really good scorer and a dangerous...
...goals over the course of the season.With his size, Akpan is the natural target man. Whether he is holding the ball up and waiting for support or flicking the ball on with his head, Akpan is constantly creating space for his teammates. This explains the all-time Harvard record-setting 27 assists that he has compiled in his already-historic career.And then, of course, there is his knack for scoring goals. Akpan netted a team-leading 10 goals this season. Fucito credits this tally to Akpan’s understanding of soccer and his energy on the field...
...Georgia runoff, however, is one key political celebrity short - much to the detriment of Democratic challenger Jim Martin. President-elect Barack Obama did not make an appearance in Georgia. He did record a radio ad for Martin and robo-calls, but that's all. And now Democrats fear that the surge in black voters that made Martin competitive on Nov. 4 may not materialize on Dec. 2. "It may be that for some voters the real election was a few weeks ago and that this is just details," says Merle Black, a political science professor at Emory University. "Obama...
...path to victory for Martin, a mild-mannered former state legislator and human-resources commissioner who is unusually progressive for a statewide candidate in Georgia. Chambliss narrowly missed an outright majority in November, pulling in 49.8% to Martin's 46.8%, and black Democrats who turned out in record numbers to support Obama didn't vote early for Martin in similar numbers. John McCain and Sarah Palin both returned to Georgia to campaign for Chambliss after winning the state; Obama just taped a radio ad for Martin, who had to rely on surrogates like Ludacris and REM's Michael Stipe...
...critics, of course, fear that if he's allowed indefinite re-election, he'll simply morph into another Fidel Castro. Despite - or because of - the Cuban leader's longevity in power (or the record of other would-be rulers-for-life), Latin Americans look askance at lifetime presidencies. That's why even voters next door in Colombia look set to deny their remarkably popular conservative President, Alvaro Uribe, a third term when his second expires in 2010. Chávez does have an authoritarian streak and is indeed a gushing admirer of Castro, and with the legislature and judiciary firmly...
