...named the NFL's Most Valuable Player, Davis ran for 199 yards in 21 carries Saturday to lead Denver to a 38-3 win over Miami that put the league's defending champions in the AFC championship game here next Sunday...

Two years ago, when former Tennessee Governor Lamar Alexander ran in the G.O.P. presidential primaries, he built a campaign slogan around the ineptitude of Congress: "Cut their pay and send them home."

When Mary Ramerman joined the church in 1983, I'm sure she knew what its beliefs were. If all she wanted was a church that ran itself to her liking, she had many to choose from. If she wants to be a priest, the Episcopalians should be happy to accommodate her. But Ramerman may not be going to church to worship; she may be interested only in making waves. G.
