He was one of a handful of candidates Cleary considered to replace Ronn Tomassoni, Harvard's coach for the past nine seasons, along with Yale's Tim Taylor '63 and St. Lawrence's Joe Marsh...
Expect the most muted of fireworks. Al Gore and Bill Bradley finally get to face off live on television Wednesday night, but in a game of Horse rather than one-on-one.

The move also comes right after the endorsement of Gore by America's largest labor group, the AFL-CIO, which also pledged $40 million...

According to sources familiar with the case, Energy Secretary Bill Richardson has told aides that excessive secrecy should not stand in the way of charging Lee for downloading to an unsecure computer the so-called legacy codes that describe the performance of the U.S. nuclear arsenal...
