...post-9/11.” Simpson’s attorney Ross E. Schreiber called the bail amount “completely unreasonable,” The Tech also reported. He argued that her active involvement in the MIT Electronics Research Society and her achievements as a National Merit semi-finalist should warrant a lower the bail. Bail was set by Judge Paul Mahony at $750. As part of her release agreement, Simpson must stay away from Logan Airport between now and her pre-trial hearing on Oct. 29, 2007, according to The Tech.

At Lansdowne Road, Ireland, in '91, they lost in the semis to a Wallabies team ignited by the mercurial David Campese. In Johannesburg in '95, a food-poisoning outbreak wrecked their preparation for the final, which was won by the hosts in extra time. At Twickenham in '99, France lived up to their somewhat spurious reputation for summoning bursts of inspired attack to overwhelm a Blacks team that had been cruising in their semi-final...
