...surged to a quick 8-1 lead in the fifth game, but the Big Green's offense exploded in an 11-3 run to tie the game at 11. Jellin took a pass over the net to force a Dartmouth sideout, and the Crimson scored three straight points to pull ahead to a 14-11 lead. Jellison then delivered her 20th kill of the night to win the match for the Crimson...
...long time, I've dismissed Steve Forbes as the poster boy for the candidates who don't matter. Sure, he came in second in the Iowa straw poll. But it was a 90[degree] day, when I witnessed the pull of an air-conditioned tent and short food lines on voters. Some days, money can buy you love. But I still didn't think it could buy presidential stature. Forbes, despite spending millions, is stuck with the uncomfortable person he is. In one ad in which he gazes from a movie-set White House at the real one, with emotions...
...plane broke apart, sprinkling shards of the 767 and its human cargo into the waters off the Massachusetts coast. The wild ride lasted less than two minutes and left behind a slew of puzzling questions. Was the crew alive during those final moments?

And why were the pilots unable to send out a distress signal...
...case for an accidental thrust-reverser deployment is weak, at least for now. When a reverser is accidentally deployed, "one side of the plane is going forward, the other side is going backward," explains Boeing spokeswoman Lori Gunter. The plane would likely have exhibited the kind of jerky push-pull motion that characterized the Lauda Air jet's descent in 1991. The radar indicates, however, that Flight 990 nosedived in a straight line in its original descent. And if the pilots faced such a problem, they should have had time to send out a distress signal...
...angling to get back out there less than a week after having her bell rung, passing out on the sidelines and being rushed to the hospital. A lot of guys don't realize they're lined up across from a girl, she says, but they don't pull back when they find out. "I've got bruises all over my body," says Macias, who ran for 16 yds. on three carries in one game and could be a starter next year, according to coach Castro...
