...many people know that this humble economics concentrator from Ringwood, New Jersey is rapidly on his way to becoming Harvard's all-time leader in career rushing yards as well. Hu currently has 2,112 career yards on the ground, and, in all probability, he will take over first place in next year's season-opener, passing Vic Gatto '69 (2,130 yards...
Pulling back, Powell realized, does not mean disappearing. There is a middle ground, and that is what he will be searching for as he seeks ways to serve and shape the race he so dominated until last week. He hadn't even caught his breath before people started asking about the vice presidency. In his remarks, he seemed to rule it out, though that is almost a requirement for getting the job. And Dole's team was practically printing up bumper stickers before the day was over. Campaign manager Scott Reed called the idea of a Dole-Powell ticket "orgasmic...
Their message now? Twelve months before the election, as they are just beginning to focus on presidential politics, voters are having second thoughts about the Republican revolution that was ushered in just last year.

...radical right is to dissociate itself in the public mind from what Israeli police now say was a murderous conspiracy. Amir insists that he had only one prompter and helper: God. But Police Minister Moshe Shahal asserts, "We believe that a group of people carefully prepared the ground to murder carefully chosen targets," not stopping with Rabin. Besides Yigal Amir, Shahal's cops so far have taken into custody his brother Hagai Amir, who has admitted giving Yigal the homemade, hollowed-out bullets that tore apart Rabin's chest, and six other men. Most, like the Amirs, are in their...
