...blockbuster Independence Day--a subject, and a movie, that Bennett had urged upon Dole--the two men spent several days on the road together.

Jack Kemp's selection is probably the most well-known "secret" in America right now, especially after he spent 15 minutes glowing on a Dallas runway, in the lights of network cameras, while talking privately to Dole on a cell phone. Kemp vaulted into the headlines as Dole's vice presidential pick Friday morning when he started telling reporters he'd gladly serve, if asked: "Quarterbacks are always ready," he growled...
Spaepen said he co-taught a similar Core course in the past with Mallinckrodt Professor of Physics David R. Nelson, but said the new course will scale back some of the science from the original in order to incorporate the engineering...
