Most Crimson swimmers tapered minimally for the event and didn't step down their training in the preceding days. Yale, on the other hand. approached the competition by fully resting and shaving in fear of the Harvard powerhouse. Yet despite this clear advantage, they failed to claim the sought after trophy...
...mayors. "I'd be run out of town. Gone." Like all caucuses, the G.O.P.'s is driven by its most passionate members. While some are troubled by Ken Starr's veering off into a consensual affair, they hardly balance those who are enraged by Clinton.

He points out that more and more young, nonviolent, first-time offenders are being incarcerated...
Barney, a Rottweiler-shepherd mix in North Hills, Calif., was labeled a "fear biter," and his owners were told by their vet that the best course of action was to put the dog down. Desperate, they turned to veterinarian Nancy Scanlan, who has been practicing holistic medicine for animals since 1988. She inserted eight needles between the dog's neck and hips in an effort to relax Barney's tight muscles. Barney, who Scanlan says is "coming out of his shell," has ceased to snap at home...
