...worth it to put [the injured players] out there,” Saretsky said. “Be conservative. Mix and match the lineups—figure out the best team towards the end. It was an opportunity for the other runners to become stronger, more experienced, sharper.” Freshman Ryan Neely finished next at 107th, while sophomores Bobby Kenney and Vito Cannavo were 143rd and 152nd, respectively. In the women’s race, another set of quality performances from freshmen set the tone for the team. “[The freshmen] were definitely a really important...
...Axelrod, fully embracing the hoary horse-race metaphor. "We're pursuing a strategy that aims at doing well in Iowa and going on from there." And lately Obama seems to have shifted into a different gear, one that suggests some urgency to gain ground. His debate performances have gotten sharper. He has a new, edgier stump speech that pounds harder at his theme of change and attempts to paint Clinton as what his strategists call a quasi-incumbent. Obama is embracing a more populist approach.

Still, the Lucky Camera isn't a true replacement for the Hubble. Since it has to throw away most of its images, it isn't very efficient.

Fox News and MSNBC didn't even exist circa O.J. 1, while O.J. 3's big scoop, the hotel-room tape, was reported (i.e., purchased) by muckraker website TMZ.com (owned, like TIME, by Time Warner)--which just happens...

For example, fleur de sel comes from the top of sea-salt marshes on the northwest coast of France, while the sharper-tasting Himalayan pink salt comes from ancient seabeds in Pakistan...
