...every child grows up in a New York kitchen using the word "insurance." Do you actually believe that quotas pit people against each other the same way that baseball teams do? I'm a big Mets fan and I hate Roger Clemens. What does that have to do with affirmative action...
...Ashcroft--the race had been very close--a series of odd but formidable events would unfold. On Jan. 3, Ashcroft's Senate term would expire. Missouri law would require the seat to be declared "vacant," since the victor in the election would be dead.

...worthwhile to have a postmortem on one moment of notable idiocy that occurred early on, when the Yankee pitcher, Roger Clemens, delivered a pitch that shattered Mike Piazza's bat, the broken barrel of which came flying out toward the mound to be fielded by Clemens. Clemens caught the jagged piece of bat and threw it toward the first base line...
