...Contrast that reaction with Busch Stadium’s on September 8, 2001, when Mark McGwire launched No. 61 into Big Mac country...
...Harvard constituents but rather for observers outside campus. Very little about the vague text bears the mark of something originating in Cambridge. (Curiously enough, most of its dramatic suggestions were suggested in a report released exactly a year ago by a certain New Haven-based competitor. But in contrast, Yale’s report contains site-specific suggestions about how to implement each recommendation and was accompanied by details about how the feedback and comment period would progress.)

The issues on the table are nothing less than war and national solvency. The contrast between complex-sentence Kerry and simple-sentence Bush could not be clearer. Kerry's burden is double: he will have to prove not only that his policies are better than the incumbent's, but also that he will be a tolerable guest in the dens and kitchens of the nation...
