More recently, a small fire broke out on the exterior of the East Wing in 2000. That one started the way most White House fires start - as workers were painting or removing paint or otherwise refurbishing some corner of the place. In 1995, a tour bus burst into flames on Pennsylvania Avenue, across from the White House. The heat peeled the paint at Blair House, the presidential guesthouse. In the 1980s, there was a string of fire and smoke incidents under President Ronald Reagan, including one in the mess. But none did much damage...
Under Wasserman’s small, close-knit group of editors, the magazine that slid into obscurity after attracting a burst of nationwide publicity several years ago is undergoing a bit of a revival...
...Wong, 30, burst onto the scene in 2000, with Squatting Quietly. It was, like many debut collections, a document of rebellion - in this case, against the values of his Christian, middle-class Chinese upbringing, and the social alienation that his sexuality entailed.

Patrick Long is wide left on the extra point ("He's good for one of those a game," one writer says). The drive: 2 plays, 20 yards, 0:46 off the clock. HARVARD 23, PENN 76:44, fourth quarter: A short Hull punt hits a Quaker, and Noah Van Niel recovers the ball at the 20 yard line of Penn. Terrible, unforgivable mistake by Penn. That might prove the dagger in the proverbial heart...
