Quarterback Matt Rader threw for 260 yards and two touchdowns, and tailback Jim Finn--who would become the last player taken in the 1999 NFL Draft--ran for 106 yards and three scores...
...Senate, in 1990, Bradley got a comeuppance. While pundits were writing about his presidential ambitions, he was almost beaten by Republican Christine Todd Whitman--then a political novice, now New Jersey's Governor. To many, Bradley seemed out of touch with his state, and he refused to denounce Governor Jim Florio for a series of tax increases that had cost Florio his popularity. "It was a peculiar political price for Bradley to pay," says Torricelli, "because loyalty to local leaders was not his reputation.

Like any other good teacher, Jim Morris thought his students weren't working up to their potential. When kids on the high school baseball team he coached in Big Lake, Texas, complained that he was throwing too hard in batting practice, he told them to quit whining.

Its latest, Cobra and Phases Group Play Voltage in the Milky Night, ranks with their best work, 1993's Transient Random-Noise Burst with Announcements. On this trip out, Chicago-based producers John McEntire and Jim O'Rourke provide Stereolab with a rich, layered sound, leaving behind the cold Cologne sound of 1997's Dots and Loops. Cobra and Phases Groups is the band's longest album, clocking in over 75 minutes. But this never becomes a strain, and the songs distinguish themselves nicely. Gone...
