...Hutchinson was a student at the University of Arkansas law school when Clinton taught there in the 1970s, though he never took a class with Clinton. Hutchinson went on to become a prosecutor, and in 1984, as a U.S. Attorney, he brought a cocaine-distributing charge against Roger Clinton, the Governor's wayward half-brother. Roger pleaded guilty, and at the sentencing, Governor Clinton thanked Hutchinson for helping save Roger's life...
...game. But no one is irreplaceable. News of Jordan's retirement broke the same day that baseballs hit by Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa were auctioned off for far more than balls hit by all-time home run king Hank Aaron and former single season home-run leaders Roger Maris and Babe Ruth.

Travolta, a Scientology adherent, will produce and star as a space villain named Terl. Hollywood insiders had gossiped that...
...remember most about 1998 is that it was a great season for baseball and for home runs. The fans supported Mark and me all year long and we gave them an exciting and memorable season. For many, the highlight came in September, when Mark hit No. 62 to break Roger Maris' record, and then I caught Mark at 65 to tie, before he went on to 70. Personally, I enjoyed each and every home run I hit in 1998. Each one was a gift. The same way I enjoy it, the fan enjoys it. Beyond that, it was a real...
