...Wildcats were then able to ride a wave of momentum that Harvard had been grasping for. New Hampshire outshot the Crimson 9-2 in the second half and 4-1 in overtime.Both teams held on for the remainder of regulation, but it was the Wildcats who caught the ultimate break. A few quick moves to the middle of the circle and Harvard watched as the ball caught the side of the cage, relinquishing all optimism.

Think of a guy who is anxious that his hacienda in Miami might be caught in a bubble but doesn't want to cash out and move.

At a closed session of the Armed Services Committee last week, Senator John Cornyn of Texas brandished a letter signed by top lawyers of each service saying they "do not object...
...Assembly, a bill barring gays and lesbians from serving in the state's National Guard, Graham has hewed to the right on social issues. He got a 96% rating from the American Conservative Union last year, and a zero from NARAL Pro-Choice America. As a House member, Graham caught the nation's attention playing corn-pone puritan as a House manager in Bill Clinton's impeachment trial. "Where I come from," Graham memorably drawled during the trial in the Senate chamber, as he described a phone call the President made to Monica Lewinsky, "you call somebody...
