GOP strategists insist Helms? impending departure will not hurt their chances to regain the Senate in 2002, but Democrats? undisguised glee over the announcement tells another story...

And how much playing time will Inamoto get in an Arsenal midfield that already boasts players like Robert...
...spokesman Paolo Meattelli. Even before he has kicked a ball in Parma's blue-and-yellow colors, Nakata has made a good start for the club: on the day he signed up, Parma inked a contract to sell 10,000 Nakata jerseys in Japan. Every Parma match will be broadcast live in Japan on cable channel Sky PerfecTV, netting more revenues for the Italian club...
