...younger sister is obligated to ask every Passover, why on this night? On all other nights, life is normal. Last Friday night, Harvard raised the 1999 AWCHA national championship banner before the opening face-off, reliving the greatest sports moment I have ever witnessed in person. Exactly two minutes into overtime, the Big Green skaters were mobbing junior winger Jen Wiehn behind the Harvard net--directly under the brand-new banner...
...took more time, five dropouts, some stumbles and some surprises to arrive where we are now, at least in New Hampshire: with 12 weeks left to go until primary day, George W. Bush and John McCain are suddenly just single digits apart. And as it happened, at just the moment that the contest came into focus, the issues of intellect and temperament that have hummed all year suddenly threw off sparks and lit up the whole horizon of the Republican race. One Navy prince, one political prince, both rebel cutups with frat-house charm, they took very different roads...

On Friday several hundred people showed up in Cedar Rapids to see him. Earlier in the day he got a standing-room-only group of 700 in Davenport and 500 people came out in Sioux City last Tuesday...
...culminating moment of the program--the CityStep show--is most dependent on the Benefit Ball. The funds that we raise from the Ball each year allow us to place these children on a star-studded stage, giving them the chance to shine in front of hundreds of onlookers. A core of talented Harvard students create every aspect of the show, including the theme, choreography and music composition. By setting the standard of the show at such a high level, each CityStep student learns about the rigors and benefits of an entire year of hard work driven toward a final goal...
