...prospect of more defections is dispiriting in the face of what many congressional Democrats believe has been an even greater betrayal. They moan that Clinton has all but abandoned them on the central issues of the day, especially the budget, making them a party without a President.

...only possible problem with soccer watching is the paucity of goals scored. I can remember hearing Dan Rather moan on CBS Radio the day after the New York Giants and San Francisco 49ers played a 7-3 game on a Monday night.
