We all know that U.S.-China relations are a tricky aspect of our nation’s foreign policy, which is why the Bush administration is rolling out the big guns for its latest efforts at diplomacy: Cal Ripken is taking a swing at things in Beijing (pun intended).

XC makes waves in KY

A few days of rain left the ground at the E.P.

The Sports Sermon

“Execution” generally conjures up images of bloody necks outside the Tower of London.

Sit down, Pitt:

After a tough 5-3 loss Friday against West Virginia University, the Hoyas Women’s soccer team (11-5-0, 4-4-0 BE) weren’t about to relax with a 3-0 lead against Pittsburgh (6-9-1, 1-7-1 BE) Sunday afternoon on North Kehoe Field. The Hoyas held on to win the game 4-2.

Switch Hitting: a weekly take on sports

There is no such thing as a moral victory in sports. Clear-cut wins and losses are the primary indicators for success and anyone who tells you otherwise is flapping their gums, hoping to mask larger problems of inefficiency and incompetence.

Switch Hitting: a weekly take on sports

The American League dwarfs the National League in top-tier teams. Most people expected any of the four AL playoff teams to be able to blow away the NL representative with offensive firepower once the World Series rolled around.

There’s been little to cheer about this season for Georgetown football, but last Saturday’s new aerial attack might be something to get excited about in the coming weeks.
