...Administration has become. The President chose to campaign for two of the more skeevy candidates offered by the Republicans this year, the adulterous Pennsylvania Congressman Don Sherwood and the macaca-stained Virginia Senator George Allen. One might legitimately ask, Why on earth would he do that? The answer, I suspect, is twofold. Bush, ever antsy, was desperate to campaign somewhere, hoping to replicate his stunning late-campaign successes on the stump in 2002 and 2004. But there aren't too many Republicans in the really hot races-that is, races that will be decided by moderate voters-who want...
...words can throw a chill up the American spine as fast as the phrase, "or I'll sue." As in, "Pay up, or I'll sue." Even if you suspect that the threat's a crock, the real and imagined horrors of a briefcase-bully will send many of us wheedling for absolution just to stay out of court.

Yet he was able to go on bravely for another nine years. And I see this all the time. People who say, "I'm not sure I can handle this," and they manage to handle it.

...season, with its three losses coming at the hands of Penn, Princeton, and Yale. But the Leopards are coming off a bye week, with plenty of time to scheme for the balanced and talented Crimson.If there’s one weakness to be exploited, it’s the suspect Crimson secondary, sorely missing corner Andrew Berry, that allowed neophyte Cornell QB Nathan Ford to go over 300 yards last week. Brad Maurer is a veteran passer with the savvy to give that unit some trouble, but not enough to threaten the perfect record. Prediction: Harvard 35, Lafayette 20PRINCETON...
