Keck and Woodfork outsmarted Princeton baserunners in the fourth inning of the second game. With Tigers at the corners, Princeton senior third baseman Chris Loving tried to swipe second base.

Hastert voted yes, but instead of trying to persuade Republicans to join him, he remained seated while majority whip TOM DELAY lobbied members to vote no. "Hastert is Speaker in title only...
...substantial Serb withdrawal, and Milosevic seems to have decided this would be an advantageous time to press NATO into negotiations," says TIME Central Europe reporter Dejan Anastasijevic. "He's going to partially fulfill NATO's demands, hoping that the mounting pressure on the alliance will work in his favor."
