...cheap shots at Dick Gephardt. I was disdainful of his intemperance (well before the Iowa scream), scornful of his disproven theory that all you need to win is an excited liberal base (the base isn’t big enough), and—I confess—absolutely gleeful at the news that Mr. Fiscally Conservative Governor had squandered tens of millions of the Deaniacs’ Internet money...
It’ll be a milestone for the Western School Of Technology and Environmental Science, the Baltimore magnet academy from which Terry was the first to ever attend an Ivy League school. When news of his acceptance leaked out against his will, he recalls, a gleeful announcement was made over the school-wide intercom...
...After a gleeful hymn to "Jeee-susss," the Church of Melanesia's 60 Sunday schoolers bolt like whippets out of the starting box; it's playtime for the children of trainee Anglican priests and their wives. A smiling but intense Father Brown speaks about the scarcity experienced in rural areas during the tensions and the role of the Anglican Melanesian Brothers in making peace.

Robert Bermudez Farmingdale, New York...

Appearing as a pale imitation of his former self, Latham signed a low-interest-rate guarantee a few days into the campaign. The stunt reeked of the forlorn Crean years and brought gleeful ridicule from the government. Who will have the discipline to make the central bank's job easier? The finance professionals believe that there's not much between the two sides. Futures traders are not expecting a significant rise in rates any time soon, regardless of who wins the election...
