...only do the Red Raiders boast strong doubles, led by the 13th-ranked pair of senior Bojan Szumanski and junior Christian Rojmar, but their singles play has also proved forceful, helping the squad to a second place tie in the Big 12 and a national top 30 finish for the seventh time in 14 years...

...Graveyard Girl herself, but it’s forgiven by the time “found sounds” and computer whirrs lead it out.

What still unites the city's ethnic groups is the goal of a big Democratic win in November. Ward leaders like old Mike Stack of the 58th up in Somerton, where my parents moved us to, still boast of the fact that Jack Kennedy was elected by guys like them. Philadelphia gave Kennedy a 330,000-vote plurality in 1960, enough to swamp the rest of the state.
