...eerie season had begun. The Hornets tipped off their 2005-06 NBA campaign last week more than 700 miles from New Orleans, in Oklahoma City, Okla., where the team has relocated for at least a year. (To keep ties to Louisiana, the team will play six of its 41 "home" games in Baton Rouge.) NBA franchises usually get 18 months to establish themselves in a new market. From the time the Hornets finalized their move to Oklahoma City on Sept. 20 to their first regular season game on Nov. 1, the Hornets had 42 days. During that time, the team...

But a few days later, he was a hero again after his eloquent handling of the Oklahoma City tragedy. George W. Bush's own presidency was limping along until it was transformed on Sept. 11, 2001. But you can't order up an act of God-and even another terrorist attack on American soil might only serve to reinforce the doubts about Bush's leadership that Iraq...
Sure, we are not, for the most part, blonde and buxom. We don’t have the tangible attractiveness of, say, a University of Oklahoma sorority girl. These are inalienable facts. But I, personally, do not think we are hideous...
