...important role for Government, not necessarily a larger one." Joseph Biden is somewhat more inspirational, evoking generational memories of John Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. and constantly quoting a hymn: "And he will raise you up on eagle's wings,/ and bear you on the breath of the dawn...
...their ears. "At 4:35 a.m.," a local radio station reported, "a tornado hit the Rockford, Ill., weather office. The entire town of Rockford has been demolished.
