Sophomore Arthur Fergusson placed second in the long jump but suffered a high hamstring pull and was unable to do the triple jump and 110-meter high hurdles. Sophomore Chris Clever, who has already qualified for the NCAA championships in the javelin, sat out with an arm injury. Freshman Kobie Fuller, a top sprinter, also was hurt...
...deter the rape of Kosovo and even appeared to be speeding it. Publicly, NATO insisted that the blame for the refugee flight lay solely with Milosevic, not Western bombs. But privately, officials offered a line that made more sense alongside the awful images.

Even more cleverly, they posit, in Reeves' character, a modern Everyman--a computer hacker, naturally--who may be the Messiah whom the remnants of authentic humanity have long awaited. These resisters, called Zionists, live near the earth's core and are represented up top by the very brainy Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) and a small band of rebel fighters, living by their wits and their...
