...Young isn't the only politician to blame. In 1956, when I was 8 years old, my Congressman was John D. Dingell. There are people in southeastern Michigan who are still represented by Dingell, the longest-serving member in the history of the House of Representatives. "The working men and women of Michigan and their families have always been Congressman Dingell's top priority," his website declares, and I suppose he thinks he has served them well - by resisting, in succession, tougher safety regulations, more-stringent mileage standards, relaxed trade restrictions and virtually any other measure that might have forced...
...period, Randolph exhibited his versatility, taking the ball himself up the middle for a one-yard sneak, resulting in another Crusader score.Holy Cross added some insurance to start the second half.

Deo, for the longest time, was their fundraiser, and he did an amazing job; he gathered friends and family from America and Burundi to rally for a public health effort that is by no means complete. They saw 28,000 different patients in their first year of operations, most of whom they treated for free...
When Senator Edward M. Kennedy died Aug. 25, it effectively signaled the end of America's most glamorous political dynasty. The Kennedy name has long held almost mythic status in this nation's public life, and Teddy - the youngest of Joseph and Rose's nine children - lasted the longest and suffered the greatest tribulations. The violent and sudden deaths of his three brothers, a plane crash, the scandalous (and, some say, unforgivable) night at Chappaquiddick: all juicy fodder for a memoir. Luckily for the curious, Kennedy had been working on one for two years before his death. It hits bookstores...
