...church officials are wary of the impact Romney's candidacy could have on them--and on the portrayal of their faith. Yes, his campaign will bring attention and credibility to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS), as the Mormons are formally known, and give them a chance to demystify their theology and customs. But church officials also calculate that Romney's bid to succeed George W. Bush could remind some mainstream Christians just how different Mormonism is from their faith and perhaps expose their flock to more of the sort of discrimination that drove their founders...
Even as Democrats scratched their heads over Pelosi's judgment last week, they knew where it was coming from. "This isn't San Francisco," said a former Democratic-leadership aide. "This is Baltimore." The latter is where Pelosi grew up and where she got her first lessons in politics, from the best teacher anyone could want. When Nancy D'Alesandro was a child, her father used to collect yellow sheets of paper that were stacked and stapled together at the end of each week. They were called the "favor file."

Yale features sophomore twins Bobby and Larry Abare, the two leading tacklers for the Bulldog defense. The former is a linebacker and the latter, a strong safety, has two defensive touchdowns. They’ll be matched by Harvard’s Bryant Brothers, sophomore Brenton and junior Desmond. Each plays the same defensive end position, one that will be the focal point against an offense that features the leading yard-gainer in the Ivy League this season...
...Brown, ran on a populist platform, emphasizing pocketbook issues like raising the minimum wage and attacking oil and drug companies. But even if economic populism did help elect many Democrats, will it necessarily sell in a presidential race? You might remember that a Democratic presidential candidate once spent the latter half of his campaign railing about the evils of powerful corporate interests and was widely criticized for it by many in his own party and lost. His name was Al Gore. And the Democrats can't even agree on the hero of the election; many in Washington are hailing Rahm...
