...captured a frightening reality of his campaign [March 17]. Obama sits confidently consumed in his work, his feet resting atop the table. One imagines he's pondering new considerations for health care, reading aides' suggestions for education reform or reflecting on the commonalities of the American voter. But a closer look shows a copy of his best seller, The Audacity of Hope, at his heels. Why the need to have a book he wrote so close by? Is Obama really briefing himself with his own words? He had better broaden his horizons and begin researching beyond his own 2002 hope...

Although he showed flashes of raw power last season—like his ninth inning, pinch-hit three-run blast off of Ohio State closer Jake Hale during the Crimson’s trip to Florida last March— Prince was hampered by a bad hip that prevented him from finding a rhythm. He is now finally healthy after extensive rehab, and Walsh is excited to see Prince in action.“He was hopping down...
