...morning prayers in Memorial Church, I thought, for the first time, about what my experiences had taught me. In Dubuque, Bill White showed me that getting things done means not complaining, but coming up with the next best solution. One of Hillary’s Senate advisers, Kris Balderston, showed me how to learn an issue quickly and listen to people carefully. I learned that there are many things I cannot control, and it’s not worth fretting over what Chris Matthews says or what Frank Rich writes. But, only I can knock on that door, talk...
...After receiving a first-round bye, Snyder began her tournament run Friday afternoon with an easy, 9-1, 9-3, 9-2 victory over Hamilton’s Kelly Whipple. She continued her strong play on day two with victories over Tara Wadhwa and Jessica Balderston, both of Yale, 3-0 and 3-1, respectively, to land a spot in Sunday’s semifinals.

No corny lines remain; at his most indulgent, Richter keeps an episode in which Dracula hurls a candelabra into a magnificent drawing room mirror that does not reflect his image. "Pardon me," he tells Van Helsing, matter-of-factly, "I dislike mirrors...
...SCREEN'S greatest Dracula? Not Bela Lugosi, who gave a lugubrious performance in Tod Browning's 1931 Dracula, which was utterly ruined by its failure to abandon the Deane-Balderston play. F.W. Murnau's German silent Nosferatuwas a good deal better, and even today provides one or two chilling moments, but Max Schreck's strutting rat did not have a whole lot of dramatic stature...
