Time and time again in the first period Jonas found himself all alone with a Catamount player in front of him. And each time the Crimson goalie came up huge, making stops which ranged from incredibly lucky to just plain incredible...
...ANTONIN SCALIA APPOINTED BY Ronald Reagan (1986) The Court's most irascible Justice, Scalia is famous for his lucid prose and judicial independence.

The Elvis perspective is, however, a stunningly illuminating way to see Clinton and understand why we have hated and loved...
