...started off with promise and went downhill from there. Along the way, there was heartbreak coupled with disappointment. But in the end, the 1995 Harvard football season ended in glorious fashion with a thrilling win over Yale, providing a sneak preview into what could be a bright future...
NETSCAPE ESCALATED ITS BATTLE WITH Microsoft for the soul (and wallet) of the Internet last week by quietly offering Web surfers a preview of a superbrowser, code-named Atlas. The program is designed to compete with Microsoft's Explorer, which Net users have labeled slow and short on appealing features.

To qualify for the ballot, each candidate must collect...

Passing symbolic pieces of the G.O.P. agenda on a monthly installment plan is the strategy du jour, meant to offer voters a preview of what life under a Republican President might be like. While the Democrats may not go along with this, the irony for the G.O.P. agenda can't be lost. In the weeks ahead, Gingrich may be selling a "first big down payment" with less deficit reduction and smaller tax cuts...
