...Bayrou adherent to exercise that civic protest against what he sees as a choice between second-raters. Such tactics may assuage the conscience, but they're unlikely to change the outcome of the May 6 vote; they even seem slightly out of step with the sober, every-vote-must-count mood of the moment. In this election, even the 18-to-24-year-old age group moved decisively away from fringe parties and protest votes in favor of mainstream candidates. In 2002 the conservative Jacques Chirac and Socialist Lionel Jospin secured only 22% of the young vote; this time, three...
...Kidder led off with a walk. Brown bunted her to second and she advanced to third on Murphy’s single. The designated hitter then took second on a double steal attempt before Kerper grounded out. Bock followed Kerper with a base hit to left on a full count. Kidder scored, but Murphy was thrown out at the plate...
...last goal of the half for the Crimson—her first career strike—to even the score at 4-4. Columbia seized a 6-4 lead early in the second half, but Martin retaliated for Harvard, ripping off three straight goals to increase her team-leading count and put the Crimson ahead, 7-6. Crisp offensive and defensive execution marked Harvard’s play in the second half, as the squad responded quickly to each Lions challenge. “I think we were just passing the ball really well,” Martin said...

Although Royal's first round vote tally of 25.8% is better than Francois Mitterrand's performance in his victorious 1981 presidential run, Sarkozy's 31.1% is even more formidable. While the Socialist candidate can count on the backing of most far-left candidates in the runoff, their first-round share added with the Socialists' is only 36.2%. And if much of Jean Marie Le Pen's 10.4% transfer their support to the tough-on-immigration Sarkozy, the outcome of the presidential race will be decided...
...their last legs, Thomas, Piazza and Sosa, who was signed by the Texas Rangers. Piazza is a definite for Cooperstown, as one of the greatest hitting catchers (though certainly not throwers) of all time. If Thomas belts 11 more home runs and gets to 500 for his career, count him in. Only steroid whispers can keep Sosa out of the Hall. Even Fred Claire, ex-GM of the Los Angeles Dodgers and a career anti-DH National Leaguer, admits that "on the plus side of the ledger, the DH lets guys that have been great players continue to have...
