...puts Coleman in the local Irish loop. "For me it's a job certainly, but it's a lot more than that," he explains. "I do it because I enjoy myself. I constantly have an idea of what's going on in Cambridge. I know what Irish people are doing around here." Stop by The Field any day of the week and forget about cover charges. As long as you order something to drink, you're solid. Munch on one of the startlingly good appetizers as you imbibe to the live Celtic music. The 75%-25% mix of Cambridge residents...
...heart of the scandal is the Rampart division's Community Resources Against Street Hoodlums, or CRASH.

It was also recording increasing numbers of flares--exceptionally hot blotches on the solar surface--and a proliferation of sunspots migrating inexorably toward the sun's equator...
...Forrest Gump is an idealistic Ponzi scheme. The receiver of a good deed must do good deeds for three other people. They, in turn, must benefit a total of nine. Before long, millions are doing unto others, assuming Saddam Hussein and his like are kept out of the loop. It's an appealing idea but--sorry to be a meanie--seriously stunted.
