...credentials with the base. One place you may not see the amendment again for a few years, however, is on the floor of the Senate. Frist is stepping down as majority leader after the mid-terms and McConnell is unchallenged as his replacement as top Republican-and Senate agenda-setter-should Republicans keep control...
...volleyball team came into 2006 as favorites to win the reformed Hay Division after capturing the Sweeney Division in the spring of 2005, a spate of injuries and a slow start resulted in a disappointing fourth-place finish for the Crimson. Junior Dave Fitz, Harvard’s only setter with significant collegiate playing experience, suffered an ankle bone bruise on the opening weekend of the season and missed five weeks. Coupled with co-captain Seamus McKiernan’s nagging shoulder problems, Fitz’s injury prevented the Crimson offense from establishing a steady rhythm, leading...
...teammates looked to the co-captain with the match on the line. And more often than not, he delivered. "You know if you set Seamus the ball, fifty to sixty percent of the time, he's going to kill it," junior Dave Fitz said. "For me, as a setter, that's a great safety net to have."

Stern would fill that role--and part of his job would be to keep Burkle's name out of the column he wrote for. A simple business proposition: You scratch my back, I won't scratch...
...have the momentum going into the fifth after winning the fourth frame 30-27 in comeback fashion. Falling behind 10-7 early, a combined 12 kills from McKiernan and McCrone led the team to pull ahead at 13-12 and never trail again. The attack was aided by junior setter Dave Fitz who led the game with 53 assists. “We just did what we were supposed to do in the fourth game that enabled us to pull away,” Harvard coach Chris Ridolfi said. In the fourth part of the night’s contest...
