...directly leading to two fourth-quarter turnovers. Trailing 20-6 with 13:38 to play, Columbia was on the move, reaching midfield before Hormann was sacked by sophomore defensive tackle Chuks Obi, forcing a fumble that was recovered by junior defensive end Peter Ajayi, ending the last serious Lions threat of the game.“If you look at most of the pressure in the second half, it came from our defensive linemen,” said Crimson head coach Tim Murphy. “It wasn’t a ton of blitzing there...
...Against this backdrop, Evans' speech itself could have seemed an anticlimax, the gray bureaucratic musings of a gray bureaucrat. Instead, it packed a hefty punch, revealing a new assessment of the scale of the terror threat facing the U.K. and the conflicting demands placed on his organization as it works to counter that threat. The tensions between terrorism prevention and the protection of civil liberties were already set to dominate the U.K.'s political agenda in a week that will see a report published about the shooting by London's anti-terror police in 2005 of an innocent Brazilian electrician...

The group has bases in northern Iraq, and Turkey has been urging the U.S. in vain to help clean out those bases since U.S. troops arrived in 2003. In Washington, Erdogan will be seeking U.S. commitments, including...
...cutting out the middlemen and buying heroin directly from Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War. Did I mention that Frank Lucas is black? Throughout the story, Lucas’s race plays a significant role in the NYPD’s unwillingness to recognize him as a true threat to the war on drugs and the Sicilian Mafia’s unwillingness to recognize him as a true competitor in the business of organized crime. Ever the clever opportunist, Lucas uses society’s disparaging notions of African-American intelligence and strength to operate below the radar and ultimately...
