...worrisome trend. Just as Harvard dominated the first eight elections, Yale has dominated the last eight. Yale candidates have run on a major party ticket in every race for the past three decades, starting with a lone vice-presidential candidate in 1972, R. Sargent Shriver, and grew into a juggernaut with Joseph I. Lieberman, Bush, and Dick Cheney...
...Karen in flirtations with charismatic criminals and being taunted by creeps who don't think this little girl has the guts to shoot them. Its commercial challenge is to interest viewers in a cop with a personal life, in the time slot opposite NBC's no-feelings-please juggernaut Law & Order. If anyone can do that, it's Gugino, a potential breakout star, and not only for her Lynda Carter 2.0 looks. Pursuing a con man who marries and robs lonely rich women, Karen is asked by one of his exes--who is still sweet on him--whether...
Today, an analogous reconstruction is wholly impossible. A 24-hour-a-day media juggernaut has kept every facet of American troops’ behavior in check.

But because of a quirk of electoral politics--and because no other Democrat wanted to take the plunge--Bustamante, 50, became the "just in case" candidate for his party in the current recall election.

His main qualifications for the role seem to be a list of things he's not: he's not a millionaire, he's not a joke, and he's not Gray Davis...
...thought. Last year, his third at the Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University, Palmeri, 28, began investigating what he calls the "litigious juggernaut" of ob-gyn and decided the risks of the specialty were greater than its rewards. He's not alone. More than 10% of respondents to an informal poll on the American Medical Student Association website say they have switched their intended specialty because of the rising cost of malpractice insurance. An additional 36% are considering a change for the same reason. In the first round of the process that matches medical-school graduates to most...
