...never played outfield before,” Vance recalls. “Then I look up at the lineup card, and I’m playing centerfield and leading off the game...
...needed cultural change ought to also transcend to a higher level: Authorities might need to suppress their gut instinct to calm and reassure their charges when it comes to crime, and exhortations to caution need to go beyond perfunctory email warnings after break-ins, tiny placards on swipe card readers, and other petty measures. New Harvard students spend hours learning how not to injure themselves drinking and how to prevent sexual assault; a more strongly-articulated reality check on what it means to stay safe in our community might be in order, as well, during Freshman Week and beyond...
...will YouTube and sites like it ever deliver media companies the sort of return on content that they're accustomed to?

(Huckabee plays this card too: he claims to be the only Governor of Arkansas to cut taxes in the past 160 years.) Bush sustained his candidacy, despite all the soft talk, because he was the eldest son of royalty in the party of primogeniture. Neither Huckabee nor Brownback has that luxury, and both...
