...After a sluggish start where Harvard scored just one first-period goal, the Crimson picked up its play in the last two periods. Harvard scored four goals in each period, including three in the first four minutes of the second to put the game away. Ruggiero accounted for half of those goals in each of the last two periods...
...disaster could befall European stocks. One factor in the Newfoundland collapse may have been an effect of climate changes caused by man. During the period 1988-96 the Atlantic was anomalously cold, because of very cold meltwater coming down from the Arctic. The frigid waters made the cod slow, sluggish and apparently reluctant to migrate. Normally cod migrate over hundreds of kilometers each year, moving into inshore spawning grounds in spring, then moving back to their feeding grounds farther out to sea, where they spend most of the year. But if the water is too cold, the cod remain close...
...Snow, Donaldson and Friedman are being prepped to tell the American public two things: 1. Tax cuts will jump-start the nation's sluggish economy. And 2. Said tax cut is worth it, even if it happens to drag us into a deficit. Both these messages need to sanded, finished and lacquered for public consumption by the middle of January, when President Bush will deliver his State of the Union address - the domestic cornerstone of which is expected to be economic revitalization.

But $89.3 billion was spent on women's clothing, while only $50.9 billion was spent on men's, according to the market-research firm NPDFashionworld. The perennially smaller menswear figures have been exacerbated in recent years by a sluggish economy and the switch to casual dress at work. While a high-quality man's suit, with its attendant tie and shirt, starts at $400, a pair of khakis and a polo shirt can be had for $100. Though the garment industry sees hope in the return to more traditional...
...week, union members left their jobs and marched. From the teachers and firemen of Britain to the cabbies and doctors of Greece, their demands were much the same: more social welfare benefits, shorter hours, better pay. Angry workers are the last thing European governments need right now. Confronted with sluggish growth and an accompanying drop in tax receipts, finance ministers worry that labor concessions would push budget deficits over E.U. limits. So some politicians are playing it tough, either denying union claims outright or linking them to cost-saving and modernization. Other leaders are caving in, delaying or diluting plans...
