...does Arizona Sen. John S. McCain bear the Republican candidate George W. Bush such animosity? What kind of man is Bush? Can there be any doubt that he is a cokehead? However, asking this question needlessly complicates the issue, which is that Bush is of course a presidential candidate with grand aspirations. Aspirations to what, you may ask? To becoming the president and appointing lots of people to make important decisions about stuff that needs to be done. What kind of stuff? Ask him, not me. I'm sure he knows some of what he wants...
...quarterfinals, Killar faced one of the top contenders in the weight class, No. 3 Steve Blackford of Arizona State. After a heated match that went into overtime, Killar lost a heartbreaker as Blackford went for a shot early in overtime and was able to get the better of Killar in a scramble...

...candidates who have received their parties' nominations--Vice President Al Gore '69 and Texas Gov. George W. Bush--have made long-overdue pledges to make campaign finance reform significant parts of their platforms. To some extent, the moves were political maneuvers to win over independents who supported Arizona Sen. John S. McCain and former New Jersey Sen. Bill Bradley. Nevertheless, we are heartened that although the presidential bids of McCain and Bradley have ended, the spectre of reform will haunt the candidates as they move towards the general election...
