...Others abound Both teams are enjoying a renaissance in the last four years, both are the skating scourge of their respective conferences, both rely on their first-line led potent power plays to defeat the clutch and grab tactics of their opponents and both have seen their programs benefit from an All-American who has won the Hobey Baker Award in the last two years...
Unless urgent action is taken, it's only a matter of time before the debt bomb explodes. The seriousness of the situation is often lost amidst the economic jargon.

...best players hold abiding interest for everyone. There is endless dispute over which pitcher threw the hardest; Lefty Grove, Walter Johnson. Bob Feller, and Joe Wood are the leading candidates. Babe Ruth stories abound. The Bambino had "a heart as big as a watermelon, and made of pure gold." He also had a rather large appetite: "He'd stop along the road when we were traveling and order a half dozen hot dogs and as many bottles of soda pop, stuff them in one after the other, give a few big belches, and then roar,'ok boys...
