Farrell wrote that “America is so vast that almost everything said about it is likely to be true, and the opposite is probably equally true.

Hoyas beat Tar Heels, advance to NIT semifinal

“I think we’ve learned how to win now,” said Georgetown Head Coach Craig Esherick following last night’s exhilarating 79-74 victory in front of a raucous crowd at North Carolina in the quarterfinals of the National Invitation Tournament.

Up 68-60 with 4:09 remaining, Georgetown (18-14), like so many previous times this year began to let the game slip away, allowing the Tar Heels (19-16) to go on a 10-2 run in the next two minutes and tie the game at 70.

Representing you

On Monday, D.C. Mayor Anthony Williams signed a bill that gives the District the first presidential primary vote for the 2004 election. The measure, first proposed by Ward 2 City Council member Jack Evans, would move the District’s primary to Jan. 13, 2004, two weeks before the New Hampshire primary and a week before the Iowa caucuses.

Apathy blows

Just a few weeks ago during “the dark days of February” we were all complaining about how bad the basketball team is. Well, the basketball team hasn’t gotten much better-if you need evidence, just put on CBS this weekend and let me know what time we’re playing.

Georgetown Peace Action’s tent village came alive Wednesday as students voiced their opposition to the war in a “speak-out” in Red Square.
