This year, New Mexico could go to either candidate. The latest polls are evenly split. One shows Kerry up three; the other shows Bush up three. But, in one important way, New Mexico is a different state than it was in 2000. This year, New Mexico voters have a whole month to vote. And Democrats are spending millions of dollars to make sure that they...
...Reinforcing this sense of reality's elusiveness, projected images turn the bare stage convincingly into bars, bedrooms, kitchens, showrooms and highways. The actors sleep in vertical beds and, when one stands up, he is horizontal to the stage. Characters split into identical versions of themselves, some carrying on with life while one of them comments wryly. It is, no doubt, a physically grueling play to perform, and the Japanese actors are overdue for home leave. For now, no performances are scheduled after the Ann Arbor run, but Complicite officials say the show will definitely appear again. Considering the difficulty...
Though Northeastern prevented Dawson from breaking one of his characteristic 70-plus-yard touchdown bursts—he came close only once, dragged down while attempting to split two defensive backs after a 24-yard gain—the Huskies lacked the dominance at the line of scrimmage exhibited by Cornell one week earlier.

Bush's slight lead in statewide polls holds on election night, the President would...
...every city cloud passes the cost along to the consumer. In Austin, Texas, local businesses maintain 84 free wi-fi hot spots networked together, and the companies split the cost between them; in theory, they make the money back by attracting bandwidth-hungry customers. "I like the idea of the technology," Richard Mackinnon, president of the Austin Wireless City Project, says of Spokane's HotZone. "The problem is more with the finances behind it. When you have the Zone, you're reduced to a single player: one big person has to pay for everything. That person is going...
