Will Trent Lott rise again? Back in 2002, the Mississippi Republican's career seemed over. At a birthday party for Strom Thurmond, Lott quipped that America would have been "better off" if the centenarian had won his 1948 segregationist bid for President. Lott apologized profusely but was forced to abandon his post as Senate majority leader. Since then, Lott, 64, has slowly regained stature--so much so that insiders think if he stays in the Senate, he will return to a leadership post. Lott tells TIME he "certainly will" consider running for a top G.O.P. job if he seeks...

...That’s the only thing I remember.”* * *Holsey’s basketball dreams never burned so brightly as they did during her freshman year at Harvard. The Crimson was well on its way to a perfect Ivy League season and an NCAA Tournament bid. Holsey was doing her part, averaging 15 minutes per game in early action, and even saw significant floor time in a 79-76 stunner of Syracuse, her first collegiate game. She drained two three-pointers and finished with nine points. Her season, and her budding career, soon went sour. Against Yale...
