...dangerous cross from the right flank forced the Harvard defense to retreat towards its own goal. Thus with the defense on its heels and Dupuis pulled out of position, Columbia's Khouri Mullings ripped a bullet at the Harvard net. Luckily for Harvard, sophomore back Chinezi Chijioke was covering the net and cleared the ball out of trouble, keeping the game scoreless...
WASHINGTON, D.C.: The search for a replacement candidate to head the Joint Chiefs has moved into high gear. Top contenders include Admiral Joseph Lopez, commander of NATO's southern flank; Army General Wesley Clark, commander of U.S. forces in Central and South America; Marine Corps Commandant General Charles Krulak and Army General George A.

East of DeWolfe Street there is another level of desertion that a police substation would dispel...
...Dole had only one move to make in 1995--a shift to the right side of the road. For the close circle around Dole, the question was not whether to flank Phil Gramm, but how soon and by how much. Dole knew the truth of Nixon's dictum: run hard to starboard in the primaries; tack back to the center for the general. The trick, Dole understood, was not getting out so far that he couldn't make it back to safety...
