...offense we had unusual trouble converting the goal," Crosby said. "We ended up taking some shots that weren't the best opportunities. The shot came from man-up situations. We usually have a much higher shooting percentage...
...this is exactly where Bradley puts Gore in a box. Bradley dismisses Gore for his caution, and all but points to the centerfield fence as he steps up to the plate. "If we can muster the will and create the technology to put a man on the moon in a decade," he declared in his poverty speech last week, "then surely...we can eliminate child poverty as we know it."

...accounts, Hillary's two brothers are colorful, likable men. At 45, Tony has a job history that includes stints as an insurance salesman, a prison guard, a sort of cable-service repo man (during which he drew gunfire at Chicago's Cabrini-Green housing project) and a private investigator.

Earlier this month a prominent judge sentenced a 54-year-old man who had raped his 14-year-old daughter to just seven years in prison. Because the crime took place within the family, Judge John Foxcroft explained, little harm was done to the wider community. Furthermore, he said, by the time her father is released in seven years, the girl will have...
