...Rahm Emanuel boasts that ?patience ain?t a virtue in my book,? and that's especially clear when the feisty Democrat from Illinois is trying to recruit candidates to run in November's mid-term elections. Last summer, for instance, when Emanuel tried to convince Heath Shuler, former star quarterback at the University of Tennessee, to run for Congress from his native North Carolina, he had to make a hard sell. Shuler said he was worried he wouldn?t get enough time with his two young children if he was constantly shuttling back and forth from Capitol Hill, so Emanuel...
...thought it was very good, very well done,” sophomore quarterback Liam O’Hagan said. “It was kind of strange having a camera in your face while you’re stretching or the coach is talking to you, but I guess that’s what comes with playing in the Harvard-Yale game...

The third-place finish was the best-ever...
...might Texas, going for its first national championship in 36 years, try to stop Bush? "We just have to have two or three people around him at all times," says Texas safety Michael Huff. Be careful: that strategy offers U.S.C.'s other weapons more free room (remember record-breaking quarterback Matt Leinart, last year's Heisman winner?) On the other hand, U.S.C.'s defense can be porous, so Young, the nation's highest-rated passer, and his Longhorns could keep up. Both offenses average 50 or more points per game. Sounds as if the Rose Bowl might...
