...block laws that could threaten Hizballah, such as a grant of increased powers to the expanding U.N. peacekeeping force in south Lebanon. But beyond this, the government suspects Hizballah will try to further the interests of its Iranian and Syrian backers. Far more is at stake than just another round of Lebanese political infighting. The U.S. supports Siniora's government as an example of a budding Arab democracy and as a useful counterweight to Syrian and Iranian regional ambitions. But an anti-Western alliance that includes Iran, Syria, Hizballah and Hamas wants to roll back U.S. influence in the Middle...
...that round over the Republicans, but that victory and all the others will be forgotten unless she can regain control over her own caucus. She didn't just politely suggest that people vote for Murtha; she fought hard. Her lieutenants plied the House with phone calls and none-too-subtle threats, including suggestions that anyone who bucked her might lose committee assignments. After Hoyer still drubbed Murtha by a vote of 149-86, Pelosi emerged from the ballot room and pronounced Hoyer's win "a stunning victory." By the look on her face, she meant it.

...Once that shot came, Fitzpatrick, a late seventh-round draft pick, took advantage. He was thrown into the fray early in the second half of his rookie season, coming off the bench in a game against the Houston Texans with the Rams down 17-3. The Crimson’s all-time leader in total offense went 19-for-30 for 310 yards and three scores in leading St. Louis to a highly improbable 33-27 victory...
...speed on the right side plagued Harvard’s defense all night, which surrendered two more goals—including Zizzo’s second at 39:30—en route to a 3-0 defeat at Drake Field on Wednesday and a second-round NCAA tournament exit for Harvard.The athletic and relentless Bruins ran circles around the Crimson defense in the first half, and Harvard was unable to sustain any offensive pressure in the opening frame. A superior second-half effort gave the Crimson several chances on the net in the first 20 minutes. But the Bruins?...
