Taylor finished the 400-meter run in 54.80 seconds. While her time was well short of the 52.18 finish of Jearl Miles-Clark--an Olympic Gold medallist in the 4x400 relay along with Marion Jones--Taylor's time was still by far the fastest Ivy time this season in the 400. Baker finished the 3000 in 8:18.19. Only Rob Doyle of Yale, at 8:13.56, has run faster in the league this year...
Judging from the way in which his fellow civil rights leaders are rallying to his defense, most African Americans will probably pardon Jackson for this sin, because we are an extremely forgiving people. Just ask Clinton, Marion Barry, Mike Tyson, O.J. Simpson and a host of other bad actors who have been welcomed back into the fold. But if we let Jackson back into a position of leadership after he completes his promised sabbatical from public life, we're out of our minds...
...were promised a global computer shutdown, a stock market crash, a Blade Runner world. But the lights never went out, and the sun came up in the morning. Then John McCain was going to win the nomination, the Red Sox were going to win the World Series, Marion Jones was going to win five gold medals and Tommy Lee was going to win Pamela Anderson's heart back.

...Marion Jones left Sydney with three gold medals (for the 100-m sprint, the 200 m and the 4 x 400-m relay), two bronzes (for the long jump and the 4 x 100-m relay) and a massive headache, having faced a storm of questions about her husband, injured shot-putter C.J. Hunter, whose positive tests for steroid use were revealed during the Games. Of Jones' ups and downs, the one to remember was the first. In the 100 m she blazed to a time of 10.75 secs. and the largest margin of victory in that race since...
...stood out for his voice. As a boy, Thomas Penfield Jackson won a choir scholarship to St. Albans prep school that he lost when his voice changed. But he became a lawyer, then a judge, distinguished by his booming baritone. He had tried high-profile cases (like Washington Mayor Marion Barry's) but was little known until he became Bill Gates' bete noire. The judge in the Microsoft antitrust trial could be gruff ("You are not planning to totally rearrange my room, are you?" he asked our photographer) but was known as open-minded and moderate. His thunderbolt rulings were...
