...Which perhaps explains why, in spite of the team's surprising start, there's very little buzz at the Hornets' hive. The team is averaging a dismal 12,645 fans per game, the second worst attendance figure in the NBA (only the Indiana Pacers have drawn fewer fans). A cable dispute between Cox Communications, which has exclusive rights to broadcast Hornets games, and Charter Communications, the cable provider for about 225,000 residents in suburban St. Tammany Parish, left many affluent fans unable to watch their team.

Cassidy grew up playing army games with cousins and re-creating Civil War battles on a Ping-Pong table covered with fake grass and tiny trees in the basement of his Carmel, Ind., home.

(Kearney says he did nothing wrong and is a victim of political pressure.) "The enemy could not kill him, but our own government did," Bayh said of Cassidy. The Senator has succeeded in requiring the Army to make sure wounded soldiers are sent to the "most appropriate" facility...
...against. While Harvard guys can take the bus to Wellesley and find themselves seized by hordes of fair-to-moderately nubile houris, the thought of Harvard women riding over to, say, Wabash College and snaring eager men seems patently absurd. Aside from the transportation costs involved in driving to Indiana...
