...screened questions and carefully rehearsed speeches in front of staunchly partisan crowds, it’s nice that for a few short moments every election, the Republican and Democratic candidates for president are forced to actually engage with one another in formal debates. These events offer valuable and potent opportunities for Americans to see the presidential hopefuls directly challenge each other’s policy proposals and present their cases to become the next commander-in-chief. Consequently, we are pleased to see that the schedule of three debates recently agreed upon by the campaigns of Barack Obama and John...
...extremely successful campaign last season, earning All-Ivy first team honors, Pizzotti entered the game ranked 12th in the nation at the quarterback position by The Sports Network and with an undefeated record in games in which he both started and finished.

While Kerry carried virtually every city and town in the Commonwealth, O’Reilly ran strong in places such as his hometown of Gloucester...
...symbols, Benedict is aiming at the future - and as he sees it, saving souls. He is keenly aware of the challenge in the heart of his native Europe, which has been drifting from its faith over the past century. Friday marks two years to the day from the most potent moment of his papacy, a provocative discourse at the University of Regensburg about how faith and reason can, and must, coexist. Though the Sep. 12, 2006 speech is best remembered for its citation of a Byzantine emperor's insults of the prophet Muhammed, which sparked Muslim outrage, the intended target...
