Harvard junior forward Angie Francisco went to the box 19 seconds later. When she returned, however, the Crimson piled up four power-play goals in a span of 1:21, including two from junior forward Tara Dunn and one each from Suurkask and Ruggiero. Senior forward Courtney Smith's first goal of the season finished off Harvard's scoring at 9:14 of the third...
Bush's broad appeal to voters of all stripes is still his biggest asset. But it takes a lot of energy to maintain. Bush has stretched himself so thin to span the issues that his support tends to be shallow; voters who like him often can't say why.

And just as this millennium is a Western conceit, the story of the past thousand years is largely the story of the tourism of Western peoples over the span of the earth, to encroach on and economically dominate the rest of the world. If fewer representatives of the wealthiest peoples scatter to the shrines and monuments of the cultures they superseded to chant and toast one another, one doubts the ghost of Montezuma will take offense...
