...games over 38 years (34 of them with North Carolina State) and possessed a wise basketball mind. I really got to know her in 1984 when I was head coach of the U.S. Olympic team, and--lucky for me--Kay was an assistant.

In North Carolina, state officials are withholding $4 million in wildlife funding because of a budget shortfall; in Kansas City, Mo., municipal leaders cut the city zoo's budget by 20%. "Everyone is being forced to do some belt-tightening," says Steve Feldman, a spokesman for the Association of Zoos and Aquariums...
...Gaza and historic Turkish-Armenian tensions. Republicans and Democrats alike were lavish in their praise. Senator Richard Lugar, the ranking Republican, extolled "her impressive skills, her compassion, her collegiality." California Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer blurted out, "I'm so excited to see you here today!"
