...then nato - who laid the groundwork, but the E.U. has helped to give Western Europe its most peaceful 60 years since records were first kept. Here's the big picture: France and Germany had fought a war in each of the three generations before the Treaty of Rome. Twice Europe's wars had sucked in the rest of the world. By locking together economies, societies and political structures, the E.U. has made such horrors unimaginable. For that alone, give thanks...
...freshmen since time immemorial, to join every possible student group. I canvassed for the Green Party, tried out the Socialist Alternative, joined the Environmental Action Committee (EAC), and wrote an article in Perspective. Hell, I even thought about Greenpeace.

Runners huddle by the start line, shielded from the wind in the lee of a Russian research base, before bursting out along the rugged, hilly course.

After India's unexpected triumph in the 1983 World Cup, cricket became a cornerstone of popular culture in India - and South Asia (neighboring Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh all share India's passion for the game) became the spiritual and commercial...
...team we were sluggish and we didn’t come out with the intensity we did against Notre Dame,” captain Brendan Byrne said. The Crimson was able to keep pace with the Spartans for much of the game, tying it twice after being down 3-2 and 5-3. But the 11-5 deficit proved insurmountable. Senior catcher Justin Roth slugged Harvard’s first home run of the season down the left field line in the fourth.
