...from different generations, from different social classes and from opposing political parties. Their 1992 face-off wasn't exactly tea and sympathy: Bush once called Clinton a "bozo," and Clinton usually referred to his rival as "Old Bush." The 10 years that followed weren't much better. The 1992 defeat hit Bush so hard that friends say he needed half a decade to get over it, and an aide recalls that some of Clinton's angriest private moments during his impeachment were rants directed not at independent counsel Ken Starr but at the Bush family's aura of privilege...
...several meters from the visiting locker room in the bowels of Dartmouth’s Thompson Arena, Harvard coach Ted Donato ’91 spoke slowly Friday night.

I don't expect you to support everything I do, but tonight I have a request: Do not give in to despair, and do not give up on this fight for freedom...
Rebel conservative Republicans and Senate Democrats handed George W. Bush a major defeat Friday, but GOP officials insist it will end up backfiring in next year's mid-term elections. Despite intense pressure from the White House and Senate Republican leadership to extend for 4 to 10 years parts of the USA Patriot Act that are due to expire at the end of the month and make other parts permanent, civil-liberty-minded opponents of the bill brought it down Friday by sustaining a filibuster. Revelations in Friday's New York Times that the White House had secretly authorized...
