...counting on a long trial to make Republicans look partisan and obsessed. The fear of a voter backlash was no reason to abandon principle. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania, who won with just 49% of the vote in 1994, told the conference, "I'm up in 2000. And if you read the papers, I'm an endangered Republican species. But I'm not worried about that. I'm worried what my one-year-old daughter will read about the role her father played in the impeachment process in 20 years. So to those of you who are doing what...
Intellectuals love baseball, and they read sweet meanings into it.

This chic, shaded calligraphic script so many are affecting lately is handsome, and is probably worth a good extra five points if you can hack...
...placed in an essay on a specific subject might very well mean something to a grader. The true master of a generality is the man who can write a 10-page essay, which means nothing at all to him, and have it mean a great deal to anyone who reads it. The generality writer banks on the knowledge possessed by the grader, hoping the marker will read things into his essay...
