...Steinberg miscue two series later let the Big Green right back into the game. Punning on fourth and two from his own 18, the Crimson junior kicker bobbled the snap. He recovered in time to get the kick off, but could only manage a 25-yard boot. And that was with a good bounce...
Long hours (all night in the Senate Wednesday), obstructionist tactics and partisan maneuvering caused many tempers to snap. "Shame on the Senate! Shame on the Senate!" cried Massachusetts Democrat Ted Kennedy after the upper chamber dropped the civil rights bill. Barry Goldwater stormed that because of haggling over the catch-all spending bill, Senators collectively were "beginning to look like jackasses"; his Republican colleague, Wyoming's Malcolm Wallop, wondered why the Arizonan had only said "beginning."

Last week, grateful for even the shadow of a reassurance, the colony's residents eagerly followed the initialing ceremony on TV, then stood in line in blustery weather to snap up 1.25 million free copies of the long-awaited agreement.

The brain, like any other damaged tissue, can swell, causing it to press against the inside of the skull, resulting in further damage...
...playthings that fetch drinks or sweep the kitchen. Rather, many of these unwired "action figures," which cost a modest $3 to $22, get their go from a special twist. They are fantasy machines and long-favored hot-rods all in one. With a crank of the arms or a snap of the legs, each can be changed from a robot into a race car or a truck or a plane, then back to robot again. One of the Transformers, for instance, resembles an innocent cassette player until he is snapped open to become the despised Decepticon, Soundwave ($15). GoBot...
