Harvard would add two more runs in the inning to knock Northwestern starter Brie Brown out of the game. After Brown hit Godfree and forced Abeles to pop out, McKendry, Koppel and freshman Monica Montijo hit consecutive singles to put Harvard up 4-0. Springer walked to load the bases with one out, but Harvard was unable to get any more runs across...
...smug contentment. Every state would count, so even the front-runner would have to dig his heels in till the end--sweating, debating, persuading. Since smaller states are usually cheaper to campaign in, gone too would be the financial blitz in which a big-money candidate splurges early to knock his or her opponent out at the start. The Delaware Plan would make losing the first few primaries, currently an automatic disqualification, politically feasible. Again, the result would be longer, and therefore presumably more thoughtful, debate...
...hate me because I'm beautiful. I was a Jabba the Hut baby for like two days and ever since then, I've been a lean, mean, pop culture machine. (Don't you love fat babies?

Dyke prefers to stress his high aspirations for the Beeb, telling his staff last month, "Our aim is to be a place where people work collaboratively, enjoy their...
This spring's knock-down, drag-out, sticks-and-stones primary between George W. Bush and John McCain had to be the most high-profile, rancorous and riveting GOP battle in most party elephants' memory. Now it's Big Tent time, with the first of several planned grip-and-grin summits between the anointed and the heretic going down Tuesday in Pittsburgh. How do these two make it convincing? "They'll start by heaping praise on one another for the press, and will genially agree to disagree on whatever they have to," says TIME Washington correspondent James Carney. "McCain will...
