...Carroll’s stalwart play in net anchored a strong defensive effort overall by the Crimson last night, as the penalty kill unit was successful in dismantling five of BC’s six power play opportunities...
President Barack Obama swung and missed with his first choice for Commerce Secretary, New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, a Democratic stalwart who withdrew his candidacy amid a grand-jury investigation. If that selection was partly spurred by a desire to reward an influential campaign endorsement, Obama's second stab at filling the post looks like a nod to his campaign promise of bipartisan governance.

Once considered a stalwart of rural England, the Anglican church has found new life in the largest of Britain's supposedly godless cities. And the new converts are perhaps even more fervent than their small town equivalents. HTB's Sunday services include singing, dancing, and speaking in tongues. "I've looked everywhere for the answers to my deepest questions," the philosophy major Mumford says. "It took me a while to realize that I'd find them in a London Church...
