...team scrambling to find a track meet this weekend.“We still wanted to compete because we have to get ready for [the Heptagonal Championships],” sophomore Brittan Smith said. “Our coaches called Yale, and those who made the qualifying standards entered the meet at the last minute.”A select number traveled to New Haven on Friday night for the Giengengack Invitational and turned in their best performances of the season. Another contingent will head to Boston University today for the Indoor vs. Multi Team Meet. Sophomore Becky Christensen continued...
...within genres and tones. One week's story might be a melodrama, the next a comedy, the third a parable. But beyond the variety of stories was a striking visual consistency: the tone was bold, dark and mature - a grownup vision, compared to the adolescent world-view of the standard superhero strip.

Socialist presidential candidate Ségolène Royal is an unmarried mother of four, and plainly thinks that such a status - making her a symbol of the Frenchwoman's ability to balance a career and motherhood - is a boon to her campaign...
...voted against CAFTA [the Central American Free Trade Agreement], because I looked at the facts and I thought we have no environmental or labor standards-something that I believe is within the rubric of free trade. Free trade doesn't mean trade without rules. It doesn't mean a race to the bottom. It's supposed to be based on comparative advantage, so the trading partners all improve their standard of living. If you don't have some rules that will create conditions for employees to be treated fairly, the money is all going to go to the pockets...
