...each are read aloud, the patriotic soundtrack swells and the movie finally ascends to the peak of sickening self-righteousness it threatened to reach from the outset. It’s not the soldiers—who include Young’s younger brother—fighting on the ground or the Iraqi citizens suffering daily suicide bombings that receive the film’s ultimate recognition, but rather senators in Washington. This hollow conclusion seriously detracts from the humane story the film set out to tell. During Byrd’s filibuster in the Senate he implores...
...first and second. A fielder’s choice, a wild pitch, and another base on balls, brought Bock to the plate with the bases loaded. Bock came through once again with a clutch 2 RBI double that brought Vertovez and Henderson home. Sophomore Jen Francis connected for a ground out to second that was enough to bring freshman Ellen Macadam across the plate.

...current airlines' chaos? Did the friendly skies suddenly become too dangerous to fly? Not at all. The massive flight cancellations at American Airlines - about 1,200 flights, more than half of its daily schedule, affecting 273,000 passengers after the Federal Aviation Administration ordered the carrier to ground 300 planes for inspection - are the aviation equivalent of a traffic cop behind on his quota blanketing a street with tickets to avoid catching heat from his sergeant. Woe unto thee unlucky enough to double park...
