Stambaugh also found Falzone on 17-and 26-yard crossing patterns and junior flanker Kody Fedorcha on a 17-yard wide receiver screen--a route he had employed earlier in the afternoon--during the march...

Sounds virtuous, but opponents of the rule say the equity argument is a smoke screen for a baser motive. They point out that transplants are down dramatically in big centers as smaller regional centers have proliferated. The University of Pittsburgh, for example, did 540 liver transplants in 1991, but only 200 last year. The cost per patient can be as high as $300,000. "You're talking millions and millions of dollars lost to those big transplant centers," says Iowa surgeon Maureen Martin...

Prices will eventually drop, of course, but Bill Mannion, general manager...

...want to see babes in sleepwear fleeing psychos with phallic weapons." That is the only good reason so far, but it is also met with disappointment. Alicia Witt and Joshua Jackson escape the TV-dom of "Cybil" and "Dawson's Creek" for far less imaginative roles on the big screen, joined by the fairly beautiful Jared Leto, Rebecca Gayheart and Michael Rosenbaum.
