...Crimson faces a formidable opponent tonight in Colgate. Freshman forward Pat Campolieta led the Red Raiders (3-5, 0-0 Patriot League) to second place in the Ameritas Classic in Lincoln, Nebraska, this past weekend and was named to his second All-Tournament team in as many weeks. He was also named the Patriot League's Rookie of the week for the second consecutive week after averaging 15.0 points and 4.7 rebounds per game last week...
...like listening to Pat Boone's recent heavy-metal album. It was like watching Steve Young, the square Mormon quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, try to do an end-zone dance. It was like--in fact it was--Ken Starr volunteering information about his own sex life on national TV. "The answer to the big question is, no, I have not been unfaithful to my spouse," he told Diane Sawyer on 20/20 last week, adding, "I'm not trying to pat myself on the back, but I have tried to live by what I believe is my--my obligation...

Truly, she swoons all the way to the bank...
...great agricultural produce to wither on the vine?" This restraint is curious. First, it is contrary to human nature--or, at least, my human nature. Second, those few witnesses who stand up to congressional bullying more often than not emerge as victors. During the Watergate hearings of 1973, Pat Buchanan put the Democrats back on their heels by describing their hardball political tactics. Lieut. Colonel Oliver North emerged a hero of the right during the Iran-contra investigation. And when Harold Ickes faced down Senator Al D'Amato during his Whitewater probe, you almost expected one of these two tough...
