...cute and endearing when she was just like every other 16-year-old waiting to get a driver’s license, but the expecting Juno is not “frighteningly talented” so much as she’s frightening. In an era when a trashy Louisianan mother sells the pregnancy story of her underage, Nickelodeon-star daughter to a tabloid, I can’t help but feel uneasy when a movie portrays a young girl who doesn’t even seem remotely affected by her own pregnancy.Maybe I’m just more into...

Louisianan John Breaux has already sided with Hagel. Bob Torricelli is making similar noises. More will follow when it comes time to fish or cut bait...

"If Germany had won," he said, "I would have been on trial at Nuremberg instead of the krauts." In Anchorage, Alaska, Glen Roberts turned...
Chris Pardee and Charles Njoku will give Harvard strong representation in the high jump, competing against a field that includes one seven-foot jumper, Louisianan Dick Ross. Pardee, who has cleared 6 ft., 10 in., has apparently recovered from an ankle sprain that kept him out of last week's meet against Boston College. Njoku topped 6 ft., 6 in. against the Eagles and may be ready to soar even higher in the Garden...
