Junior Dominic Patillo placed first the 800-meter with a fast time, and sophomore Chuck Nwokocha took the 55-meter dash. Sophomore Arthur Fergusson won the long and triple jumps, and senior Ken Hughes won the shotput. Sophomore Ed Baker finished first in the 3000-meter. Harvard won the four-by-800 meter relay as well...
...seven death row inmates attempted to escape from Huntsville Prison, about 80 miles north of Houston. The enterprising fellas apparently used a hacksaw to cut a hole in a recreation yard fence, hid on the roof of a cell block for nearly three hours and then made a mad dash for two 10-foot perimeter fences topped with razor wire.

So this week and next their investigators want to depose in closed-door sessions Willey's attorney Daniel Gecker, Clinton's attorney Bob Bennett, Clinton confidant Bruce Lindsey and Democratic contributor Nathan Landow. But even as Hyde was pressing on, more rank...
...hair but not his folksy touch. There are no bipartisan Wise Men like Howard Baker, nowhere the drama of a fresh question revealing a secret White House taping system. Back then a hearing was a hearing, not a televised re-enactment of previous document dumps. And back then Sam Dash was Sam Dash. This time around he's been Starr's ethics enabler, overlooking obvious conflicts until his client went so far as to testify, against his advice, as an "aggressive advocate" for impeachment...
