PENN: Well, we're talking about something that in the end is just really sad. So, no, not vindicated. It should just be pointed out that the information to avoid a war was there--and, by the way, that's because the U.N. people were exactly right. Anybody who was willing to pay attention could have seen it was very unlikely that weapons of mass destruction were still in that country...
...biology of the virus to lead us to think anyone is immune solely on the basis of the type of sexual partner," says Volberding of San Francisco General. "Heterosexuals are clearly at risk of acquiring the disease from sexual contact." The Burk family of Cresson, Pa., is a sad case in point. Patrick, 27, a hemophiliac, contracted AIDS from a contaminated batch of blood-clotting factor, which he requires to control his condition. His wife Lauren, 24, has since developed ARC and apparently passed the virus on to their 15-month-old son Dwight, most likely during her pregnancy. Daughter...
...nattily named Natatorium, where a rare sight awaits. The great Greg Louganis, a double gold medalist at Los Angeles, completely butchers a couple of dives in the 10-meter platform prelims. He has explained, in his bashful, self-effacing way, that he is not really training. Headshaking here; sad to see a fine athlete on the downward slide. Uh-huh.

One-fortieth of my hits. Who wouldn't know that? Don't you know how much money you have in the bank?" At the same time, his prized distinction is the fact that he has played in 1,916 winning games. "That...
That we need to manufacture scenarios for superficial hookups to occur is a sad commentary on our social life. In many ways, we are a pathetic bunch. Tell a Harvard student to “get busy,” and they’ll start doing a problem set. We often have to work hard to enjoy ourselves. Yet in senior spring, we seem to have figured things out. I told some friends of mine back home about the “First Chance Dance” dress code and the “Last Chance Dance?...
