There is the chance that the Hillary boomlet is being stoked by the Administration as the perfect post-impeachment diversion: a party in honor of the scandal's only victor, a celebration that doesn't appear smug.

In the heartbreaker at Princeton (14-9, 9-2 Ivy), Janowski scored six points, dealt out five assists, and hauled down five boards.
