...positive memories. But last week was the opening game for the girls' basketball team, which Dave had coached. The girls from the team have regularly stopped by Linda's house with gifts or just to talk and keep her company. So Linda decided to support the girls on opening night. "It was definitely a big step for me," she says. "But I know I wasn't alone. I was with Dave every step of the way." The girls went out and won handily, for Linda and for coach Sanders...
...public eye. They include chief of staff Alexander Voloshin; Yeltsin's daughter Tatyana; former dissident turned political consultant Gleb Pavlovsky; and two businessmen and Yeltsin-family favorites, Alexander Mamut and Roman Abramovich.

Late-night comics have been roasting it mercilessly, while the Washington Post offered a Top 10 list of NASA excuses for the latest fiasco. (No. 10: Be patient. Mars Lander is trying to dial in on an AOL account.) Some cyberpranksters offered the Polar Lander for sale on eBay and got 16 bids...
Well, no problem there. At Haley Barbour's Christmas open house last Thursday night, clogged with devoted Bushies, there was an admission that Bush's lackluster performances had raised the bar for subsequent debates (which he would clear), a concession that New Hampshire may go to McCain, and an acknowledgment of the smirk only to the extent that it would be gone by the time voters pay attention...
