...WOULDN'T THINK someone who played that position in a campaign--the tack on the other candidates' seats--would sneak out so cravenly. The latest assertion making its way through the Massachusetts political rumor mill is that Tip O'Neill, who supports Shannon, pressured Markey to quit.

...student volunteer brigade goofed and joked as they worked without undue haste at shoveling snow from the center of Kosevo Stadium. Mirjan Jarovije-vic, 15, a student at the Yaroslav Cernyi technical school, took the arrival of a visitor as a splendid opportunity to lean on his shovel and sneak a smoke. He said he had been chosen for the work detail because he was so smart that he would not fall behind in school. His volunteer supervisor, Muharen Corba, 27, was smart too. Good-naturedly he yelled at Mirjan and his friends, who were throwing snowballs and pushing each...
