Vermont is to basketball as Indiana is to Ethan Allen. Janowski went to summer basketball camps and played Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) hoops, but the game was not bred into her the way it may have been for other players. Only one other member of her high school squad even went on to play college ball...
...passionately debates issues of a national scale, a council which isn't afraid to discuss issues of conscience whose locus is outside of Harvard. To this day, I believe that the council is not designed for politics. But that does not mean the elimination of politics has not bred new problems. The painful reality is that all the grandstanding and junior senatoring the council used to do concealed and distracted from the singular and most fundamental reality of the council: It has virtually no power whatsoever...
...Italy's Giovanni Agnelli (Fiat) and Australia's Rupert Murdoch (now a U.S. citizen). But if the 20th century was, as Luce also said, the American Century, it was largely because our system, espousing freedom of markets and freedom of the individual, rewarding talent instead of class and pedigree, bred a group of leaders whose single-minded fixation on getting rich--and creating great products in the process--led to unheard-of levels of productivity and prosperity.

The plot is weak, but Sandler's hilarious physical comedy is reminiscent...

Bobby has been relentlessly tormented all of his life by the University of Lousiana football players to whom he unwaveringly delivers "cold, clear, liquid goodness." In the opening scene, Bobby demonstrates his occupational dedication by distilling and purifying every drop of water, which he distributes to the players with a contraption reminiscent of the Ghostbusters' particle-beam backpacks. The waterboy is fired after Coach Red (Jerry Reed) decides that the players...
