...heading off to work in footgear more vertiginous than ever, topping out at about 6 in. (15 cm). Just last month tree-high shoes felled several models on the Milan runways, and no wonder. Walking in heels that height is the rough equivalent of trying to stroll down Space Mountain...
...candidates have traded leads in the Rocky Mountain state. In late August, McCain held a 49% to 44% advantage in the state, but in the latest TIME/CNN/Opinion Research poll, Obama is ahead, 51% to 47%. Both men need Colorado in their columns on Nov. 4.

The application for government approval was a 2029-page book...
...military school in South Carolina—subjected the Tigers to a 37-24 drubbing and the Princeton University Band to a classy display by some cadets that included physical attacks and homophobic slurs. Officers and gentlemen at their finest.Look for Princeton to rebound against the Mountain Hawks behind the dangerous Brian Anderson, a veritable running threat at quarterback. Lehigh lost its own versatile signal caller, Sedale Threatt Jr., to graduation last year, and the team should be rusty after a two week layover following a loss to Villanova.Prediction: Princeton 17, Lehigh 10—Staff writer Loren Amor...
