She would have been forced out of her current job and lost whatever credibility she had left, along with any hopes of running for future office or holding a high-profile job. There would have been accusations of prostitution, name-calling, innuendos, claims of foul play, and conspiracy theories galore. Why? Because Scott Brown needed to pay for law school...

When a girl can pay for her education without having to prostitute herself, and when a woman...
Norton dropped her first set 6-1, but quickly took the lead in the second, 3-0. Unfortunately for Harvard, Norton then suffered a light ankle sprain, which hindered her ability to close out the set. Despite coming within a game of victory at 5-4, she lost the next three games to lose the set, 7-5, effectively giving South Florida its third point...
