Monti and Gates in particular had performed below expectations, both shooting around 25 percent from the floor to start the year. At B.U., the pair stepped up and put together the joint effort that had been sorely missed all season...
Bill Clinton's last flourish on the Nuclear Test Ban treaty won't exactly set the cat among President-elect Bush's pigeons.

We're climbing on a line of small boulders that form a joint down the middle of a gully as if they'd been rolled there like dice. "I'm gonna put a wooden walkway of some kind in here," he says, dodging a vine. Bush can look as if he's clanging around in a blue suit, but he doesn't look lost on the ranch in the Marlboro Man getup: worn black...
