...lucky - we think negative campaign ads, fat-cat fund-raisers and an overzealous media are the nastiest things in a democracy...
...Barak's nastiest surprise last week may turn out to be the violence among Israel's Arab population. Though Israelis call them "our Arabs," the 1 million Arab citizens of Israel consider themselves Palestinians. The call to defend al-Aqsa brought them out in the thousands. And it highlighted the political problems Barak still faces at home. Without the help of Israeli Arabs, Barak may not be able to cement his power--and Arafat may find himself facing a hard-line Israeli government. U.S. and Israeli officials often talk about how difficult it is to understand what Arafat wants...
...party loyalty, after all, not personal politics - much like John McCain's earlier endorsement of George W. Bush. If Bradley had his druthers, he might not have stepped up to Gore's side; it was only a few months ago that these two were knee-deep in one of nastiest Democratic primaries in years, tearing into each other on national television.

...depth of its pitching carried Harvard last year, and holdovers John Birtwell and Ben Crockett were the top two on that staff. Birtwell was banged up in his start at UCLA, surrendering five earned runs on six hits through 2.2 innings, but the junior has the nastiest stuff in the Ivy, including a two-seamer, four-seamer, change and breaking ball--which he throws from a variety of arm angles. Crockett, who shared Ivy Rookie of the Year honors with Princeton's Chris Young, consistently throws his fastball in the high 80's, and mixes in a curveball...
