...finals, Dinneen found a little more personal-record magic, bettering his earlier time by .41 at 1:47.35. His time was good for eighth place, just over two seconds behind the winner, Patrick Nduwimana of Arizona, and Ivy rival Trinity Gray of Brown, who placed third after leading for the first three-quarters of the race...
...clubland, in gay America, in lower Manhattan. But in the past year or so, ecstasy has returned to the heartland. Established drug dealers and mobsters have taken over the trade, and they are meeting the astonishing demand in places like Flagstaff, Ariz., where "Katrina," a student at Northern Arizona University who first took it last summer, can now buy it easily; or San Marcos, Texas, a town of 39,000 where authorities found 500 pills last month; or Richmond, Va., where a police investigation led to the arrest this year of a man thought to have sold tens of thousands...

...When Arizona Sen. John S. McCain endorsed Texas Gov. George W. Bush last week, the tension and distaste between the two former rivals was palpable. Through bitter, back-and-forth rounds of primaries and personal attacks, Bush and McCain developed a great deal of animosity towards each other.
