...more than just match last year's Easterns win; they should be able to give teams from all over the country a serious swim for their money. Witha good day in the water for some of the team's better swimmers, a school record or two just might be broken...
...David Dinkins deserves some credit for putting more cops on the beat, Giuliani allowed Bratton to do something Dinkins would never have approved: use those cops to crack down on minor offenders. This quality of life campaign tested a principle that Giuliani and Bratton had believed for years: the "Broken Windows" theory, first put forth in 1982 by criminologists James Q. Wilson and George L.

(Though he later insisted he was spreading his ideas, not his politics, Gingrich once boasted that his course, a lecture series carried on cable TV, would produce "200,000 committed activists nationwide before we're through.") Still, the subcommittee last week stopped short of saying the Speaker had broken tax laws by allowing politics to become tangled with the work of a tax-exempt nonprofit group. Instead, it faulted Gingrich for not taking "appropriate steps" to assure that he was complying with the law. Now it is up to the full committee--and perhaps ultimately the entire House...
