...coach Jim Knowles said. “They’re as good as any team I’ve been around in the Ivy League.”And, as Knowles pointed out, the Crimson boasts tremendous depth at key positions. Senior running back Clifton Dawson is the obvious strength, but an offensive line that has cleared holes and given the quarterbacks time has been equally important. Junior quarterback Chris Pizzotti has been excellent in his three starts, just like sophomore Jeff Witt was during a brief stint. Pizzotti completed passes to nine receivers but didn?...
...Nearly every word to her students is amplified through speakers wirelessly linked to a small blue transmitter dangling from her neck. Because she began using the technology three years ago, Larcey barely notices the device, except for the rare instances when she forgets to switch it on. "It's obvious. The kids just don't pay attention in the same way," she says. Bassett has joined the growing ranks of schools embracing a deceptively simple technology at a time when federal No Child Left Behind accountability standards are compelling districts to find new ways to boost academic performance. Although amplification...
Diageo, the world's biggest liquor company, created Crush Camp two years ago and clearly doesn't care if the camp makes money. That became obvious not when I added up my two days of hotel stay, shuttle rides between vineyards and awesome catered meals but when I opened a second bottle of 1994 Beaulieu Vineyard Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon over dinner.

...decision to target undecided voters turns out to be the least obvious of the many Kerry mistakes ticked off by consultants on both sides. There was the decision not to go negative. (Mocked by Paul Begala with an eye-roll worthy of Paul Lynde.) There was the decision not to respond immediately to the Swift Boats for Truth ads ("John Kerry should have gotten pissed" says one former volunteer). There was the decision to leave get-out-the-vote operations to independent groups - known as 527s - rather than let the central operation mastermind the whole thing...
...First the obvious stuff: After weeks of pot-banging by President Bush about the future of Western civilization - a campaign designed to divert attention from Iraq and wake his party's disaffected base from its slumber - Foley has given a few key segments of the Republican coalition a jaw-dropping reason to stay home. It's hard to conceive a piece of news more likely to dampen the turnout of social conservatives than predatory sexual practices by a closeted gay Republican leader. I also doubt that the Republican coalition-minders were pleased when Foley blamed his problems on an adolescent...
