...pure depth of the team, augmented by the freshmen, also highlights the team's early cohesion. Not did Harvard win 15 of 16 events, but it finished one-two in seven of them, one-two-three in five of them, and even swept the 200-individual medley completely with an unheard-of one-through-four finish...
...staff. Eisenhower's fits were volatile but short. Kennedy said anger was a luxury, but his 1962 negotiations with steel companies over price controls were set back when he quipped that his father was right to have called steel executives "s.o.b.s." Nixon's anger was more corrosive. He expelled pure poison on the White House tapes and had particular enemies chased by the irs.

Carey is a musical earth angel. Claimed by two worlds--pure pop and urban soul--she chose, a few albums ago, to integrate hip-hop into her sound.

Frontmen Mickey Melchiondo and Aaron Freeman hooked up 15 years ago at age 14, adopted the monikers Dean and Gene Ween, and haven't stopped playing (or grown up) since. Ween had their first major label with 1992's Pure Guava and have since logged a string of studio and live albums. Their 1997 release The Mollusk, with its blatantly thecal cover, will undoubtably go down in the annals of rock as the album that gave NOFX's Heavy Petting Zoo the best competition for most obscene cover...
...least initially, much of the success or failure of the offense may depend on Long, who, if he returns to the form of his sophomore year, would be the best pure shooter on the team. Long struggled to find his role in the offense last year, shooting just 34.3 percent from the floor and 31.7 percent from behind...
