...assignments was not made for the confession format. Gore goofed by merely shaking hands ("No kiss?" Oprah wondered aloud). Worse, he pulled the curtain back only on Tipper's depression, rather than serving up any dark night of his own soul. Bush, on the other hand, delivered the emotional arc Oprah's fans tune in for, speaking of God and his battle with alcohol. The money shot was a tear in his eye, better even than Clinton's lip biting, as he described Laura's difficult pregnancy. His eyes still glistened after the commercial break...
...Champs-Elysees, Paris's widest Grand Boulevard, capped by the Place de la Concorde (where Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette were guillotined) at one end and the Arc de Triomphe at the other, no longer looks French. Resembling a giant strip mall, it's not even particularly pretty. I believe it has two McDonald's. (And in the esprit d'egalite two Quicks, France's fast food counterpart.)

But in what physical condition will you spend those years? And with what financial resources will you be able to finance them...
...forward coming into the season, was easily the Crimson's most potent threat. She earned First Team All-Ivy honors with spin moves and rebounds in the paint, and could also draw defenders out to the three-point line. She hovered around 50 percent all year from beyond the arc and stayed in the top five in the country in three-point percentage for much of the year. A lack of attempts cut her from the official list down the stretch...
