...that women who are older--in their 30s and early 40s--feel that they've accomplished a lot with their life, but there's still something missing," says Sister Laurie Brink, 45, a professor of biblical studies at the Catholic Theological Union in Chicago who has lectured on the subject and who took her vows at 37. Her generation, she adds, growing up in the wake of Vatican II, was not as schooled in catechism as were baby boomers and millennials. Many also broke from the church when their parents divorced. "My generation," says Brink, "is not good with commitment...
...Beazley makes a terrific 10-min. speech, whatever the occasion. But once he passes the 15-min. mark, it's even money that he'll flop. The more he warms to his subject, the less he seems aware of the audience; the old habits of a lecturer hobble him, especially on defense and military history. But there is a new side to the man.

Running back is one of the most brutal positions in sports, forcing men into retirement in the midst of their primes simply because they don’t want to subject themselves to the pounding anymore. At 5’9 Dawson doesn’t have great size, yet has proved incredibly durable, not missing a start due to injury in his collegiate career. These days, he practically limps back to the huddle, hobbles to the sidelines, then breaks...
...Ford would be historic, as he would be the first black Senator elected in the South in more than a century. Racial politics became a subject in the race last month when Republicans ran an ad attacking Ford for his attendance at a Playboy Superbowl party that included a blond white woman saying "Harold, call me' - which some Democrats said was an attempt to play on concerns about interracial dating. Corker himself denounced the ad, but the campaign has only gotten nastier and more heated as Election Day has approached...
