...like Tom Jefferson. But whatever their limitations, they were all proud sons of the Enlightenment. They believed fiercely in the power of individual reason as a guide to action, which is why so many of them defied majority opinion with their radical views on God. Any 1990s-style political handler could have advised them to go to church and mouth the prayers along with everyone else, but men like Paine, Ben Franklin and John Adams were deists, holding that God had created the universe and then departed from the scene.

During a 13-hour siege in New Orleans last December, a mail handler shot his supervisor in the face, killing him, and wounded three other people. In Massachusetts in June 1988, a clerk killed a co-worker...
Junior guard Scott Gilly is a solid ball-handler and shooter who will give Gielen and Smith a breather from time to time. Also seeking time in the backcourt are junior Brian Mackey and sophomore Ian Smith--Dana's twin brother...
