...screen was not of oral sex, but of our lives and fortunes and sacred happiness. He had become all human nature, the best and the worst, standing there naked in a sharp, dark suit, behind the TelePrompTer. That which does not kill him only makes him stronger, and his poll numbers went through the roof...
...even some in the White House were careful not to place too much hope in the skyscraping poll numbers. When the country faces a crisis, the people tend to rally around the President no matter what. The long-memoried in Washington recalled last week that when the Iran hostage crisis began--an event that would eventually topple the Carter presidency--his approval ratings jumped from 37% to 55% and stayed there for the next three months...

...main draw of the weekend is Princeton on Saturday. If you don't have tix now, you probably won't get any. The Tigers have had a large Sports Illustrated article dedicated to them, a 1st place vote in the AP poll, and an overall No. 11 ranking nationally. They were a fingernail away from toppling top-rated North Carolina in Chapel Hill, and that remains their sole loss of the season...
