...hope you will delve deeper than this glossed-over fairy tale about Barack Obama's upbringing and take up his invitation to address the substantive issues presented in his biography [April 21]. The article neglects to mention that Obama's father had children by four women and that he abandoned each of them in succession. Its odd statement that S.

Sunday saw, of course, two complete-game efforts from coach Joe Walsh’s senior aces, not to mention a combined 23-hit performance by Harvard sluggers on the afternoon. But the doubleheader also displayed the animosity that lingers between these two rival clubs—even in a series that means less than it has in recent seasons.After a one-out single from Bears designated hitter Conor Reardon...
