Kalil, who was third on the team in scoring with five goals and six assists in 1998, keyed a Crimson offensive rush late in the first half that answered Vermont's only tally of the game...
Rock's gift is this: he can make hard truths sound funny. It's an invaluable talent in a disinformation age in which it has become more and more difficult to talk about things as they actually are.

During the Gold Rush, the only ones assured of making money were the obscure shopkeepers who sold the prospectors their shovels, clothes, pots and pans. In the case of B2B, it's companies like Tradex Technologies, Extricity Software Inc. and BusinessBots.
