...appeal, though, is an unexpected lack of bitterness. Bad things happen--oh, well, the band says on Float On, its first radio hit in a decade-long career. Isaac Brock's squawked-out vocals and an appearance by the Dirty Dozen Brass Band turn the downward spiral into something arch, melodic and ever...
...first collegiate game. More than half of BU’s points came from three-pointers. The Terriers made 10 of 27 long range attempts against the Colonials. In last year’s game, BU made 61.5% of its threes, going 8 for 13 from beyond the arch. Last year, the Crimson had a hard time behind the arc-- it ranked seventh in the Ivy League last year in three-point field goal defense, allowing opponents to shoot 36.8 percent from downtown. Vast improvement was shown against Maine. Going up against a team with several athletic, talented shooters, Harvard...
...Improbable as it may seem, Ortega, now 60, has reemerged as the frontrunner in Nicaragua's presidential race through his alliance with an unlikely chum, former President Arnoldo Aleman. The corpulent Aleman would seem to be the skinny Ortega's antithesis - an arch-conservative Somoza acolyte elected President in 1996 in a wave of nostalgia for the pre-Sandinista days.

It is entirely possible to pick and choose the chapters that you want to read—some readers may find this a better approach to this book as Dawkins’ polemical tone is often difficult to swallow in large doses...
...Talent's breast cancer awareness effort is personal and heartfelt: his mother died of the disease in 1988. But like everything a candidate does in campaign season, the pink arch event was also high-wattage politics - part of a massive push by the first-term incumbent Senator to woo nearly two million other women: those registered to vote in Missouri. Talent did an Arbor Day event and a $300,000 fundraiser with the First Lady the same day. He has a dedicated campaign arm called "Women for Talent" that has held nine events since July. His top pollster, Linda DiVall...
