Harvard took control of the ball deep in Providence territory. The crowd squirmed and sweated as the Crimson passed the ball from one offensive player to the next just a few yards from the net without attempting a shot. Finally, senior forward Will Hench took a pass from sophomore Mike Peller with his back to the goal. Hench then whirled and unleashed a screaming shot to the upper left corner of the net, just past the outstretched arms of the diving Cardenas...
...running. Says a G.O.P. leadership aide: "We've got as much out of this as we can politically. We can bash the White House, and it reminds everyone what a botched operation it was; but the longer it stretches on, it brings up the nut-case crowd." An investigative source says the new disclosures are "like the Dead Sea Scrolls for the conspiracy theorists...
There is certainly a lot more unreleased material to stimulate that crowd and provide grist for an official investigation. This week, in response to a subpoena from Burton's committee, the Texas Rangers will deliver a report on the pyrotechnic rounds.

You can check out Bell's new pinstripes as he walks the campaign trail. The repo man came and got his Mustang...
Here's a quick way to thin the crowd at your next cocktail party: launch into the theory of three steps and a stumble. Those who sense an imminent tale of baby's first steps will flee first. You'll lose the rest when they realize that you're talking about a bear-market harbinger that worked in the '80s. For this is a new age, and if anything is deadlier than a kid story among adults, it's a cautionary tale of how the stock market behaved in the pre-Crash, pre-Internet, it-may-as-well-be-prehistoric...
