...Meanwhile, a vagrant boy (Eddie Alderson, the best of a very strong bunch of child actors here) directs a police detective to a chicken ranch in Wineville, about 40 miles west of L.A. There, a Canadian named Gordon Northcott (nicely played by Jason Butler Harner as a man who tries to hide his darkest impulses under the aw-shucks amiability of a Gary Cooper rube) has committed atrocities on some 20 kidnapped boys. Are these crimes related to Walter's disappearance? And if so, will the cops bring the matter into the glare of publicity, or suppress the awful information...
...this time scoring from the left side with less than a minute remaining in the game. The Crusaders’ offense was no match for the Crimson backline, as the Crusaders could only muster one shot on goal over the course of the game. It is credit to a strong Harvard defensive effort, wich has stepped up its game over the past weeks. Freshman keeper Austin Harms made the lone save to record his third shutout of the season. The closest Holy Cross got to scoring was in 52nd minute, when Paul Tearson ripped a shot, but Harms...

His rationale for doing so includes some hard truths about the current economic mess: "The engine of economic growth for the past 20 years is not going to be there for the next 20. That was consumer spending. Basically, we turbocharged this economy...
...realities. He will also have to deliver bad news, to transform crises into "teachable moments." He will have to effect a major change in our political life: to get the public and the media to think about long-term solutions rather than short-term balms. Obama has given some strong indications that he will be able to do this, having remained levelheaded through a season of political insanity. His has been a remarkable campaign, as smoothly run as any I've seen in nine presidential cycles. Even more remarkable, Obama has made race - that perennial, gaping American wound - an afterthought...
