...years, through all the musical-chairs dating and goofy college-flashback episodes, the characters have dealt with one problem: how to replace the kind of family in which they grew up with the one they believed they were supposed to have. One way was by making one another family. But they also found answers that should have, yet somehow didn't, set off conniptions in the people now exercised over gay marriage and Janet Jackson's nipple...
During fall recruiting, Peter claims to have dealt with one particularly unsupportive friend who made the entire process more stressful. “He told me, ‘You better not interview in my group because I will totally make you look bad,’” Peter remembers. “He thought that by discrediting me he would be less likely to be rejected.” Peter recalls that friend “slyly” bring up recruiting to brag about his own success in an effort at self-aggrandizement...
...Maats, his ability to take himself less seriously has limited the negative impact of rejection. “If I’d won Miss Harvard, I’m not sure I could have dealt with the tremendous responsibilities of that position,” he says of the mock beauty pageant. “She’s always an ambassador.” Where his voice is concerned, Hunter respects the notion of different strokes for different folks. “There’s no such thing as a bad singer, just bad for that genre...

Some of the 9/11 hijackers were already in the U.S. in early 2000 laying plans...
Others have dealt with the fundamental inaccuracies of Cheney's statements. I'm more concerned about the snide, dismissive, undignified quality of the Vice President's performance. He set the ugly, personal tone for the week, for the coordinated attacks on Clarke's character and motives. (The merits of Clarke's case were confirmed by the paper trail unearthed by the 9/11 commission's staff.) But the public seems to have tired of the Vice President's act. According to a Fox News poll last week, Cheney has an approval rating of 35%--and my guess is that the Administration...
