...annual contests in excellence on the field. The Elis, who had rebounded from a winless 1997 Ivy season to come in with a 4-2 Ivy record, looked hapless on offense, gaining just 10 total yards in the first quarter. The Crimson's offense looked equally futile, unable to reach the end zone or kick one through the goalposts in the Game's first 30 minutes.

These so-called functional beverages, or "nutraceutical" drinks, represent a tiny slice of the $20 billion U.S. beverage market--but the one that's growing fastest. Sales are expected to reach $100 million this year, up from just $20 million in 1997. Most of the products are teas and juices mixed with a variety of herbal, mineral and vitamin supplements.

...wrote, "This could refocus the spotlight on an issue that attracted notice two years ago when Congress was reforming individual welfare, but slipped off the national radar screen when that reform was enacted." Molly Ivins, in her syndicated column, wrote, "To what depth, breadth and height can corporate welfare reach?...Barlett and Steele not only dug out the answers, they dug out still more astonishing information...This is my idea of extraordinary political journalism--investigating the real effects of politics on our lives." The third installment of the series, on corporate welfare's environmental costs, appears in this week...
...racial impact of such disenfranchisement is startling. If current trends continue, the report predicts, "the rate of disenfranchisement for black men could reach 40 percent in the states that disenfranchise ex-offenders." Even temporary disenfranchisement can have a significant effect: Thirteen other states currently prevent more than a tenth of their black male population from voting...
