...beat up, particularly at the wide receiver spot, they continue to find a way to win games, at least in the regular season that is. Right now, the Chiefs are the AFC's best club and the fact that they are two point underdogs against the Chargers is a joke. Kansas City will win this showcase of the game's two best linebackers, Junior Seau and Derrick Thomas...
Exceedingly important as well is Miller's lack of mere nostalgia about his past sexual experiences.

Ambassador Madeleine Albright. But the symbolic support was never backed by significant cash infusions. One opposition figure calls the funds for the I.N.C. a "joke," less than 5% of what he says it needed to overthrow Saddam...
