Senior Nick Arena put the Crimson in good position by winning the first leg, but by the fourth leg, Northeastern had widened a huge gap that Harvard's Rahe just couldn't close. The Huskies won the race in 7:49 and gave the Huskies the five points needed to win the meet...
...filmmakers were politicians: they would be using the new Mississippi to depict the old. Mostly, the shooting proceeded without incident. Sometimes, though, old images must have haunted the older townsfolk. One day Colesberry spotted one of the crew's pickup trucks toting a huge Klan cross through town and had the driver cover it up. During the ten-week shoot, derelict churches and other structures were set ablaze; production paused while the ashes cooled down. One evening the company assembled to film the burning of a local black church, which had been bought and would be rebuilt to the congregation...
That sparkle of individual ingenuity sets many new volunteer efforts apart from the huge corporate rescue missions that define much American charity.

Moreover, a failure to cut the deficit this year would create instability and pessimism in the financial markets...
...Feldstein goes a step beyond a dispassionate economic argument by making his plan into a panacea for the trade deficit--when it's not. The United States could let the dollar fall to eliminate its huge trade deficit. As American goods get relatively cheaper and foreign goods more expensive, America will be selling more and buying less, until eventually our trading accounts balance. In fact, Bush may choose to follow this plan to eliminate the deficit...
