...restart, Princeton sophomore Ilvy Friebe made a spectacular play on a loose ball just inside the circle. With the ball seemingly just out of reach, she dove and swung her stick forcefully from ground-level. Still sprawled on the turf, she raised her stick in celebration as her shot beat Zacarian for the game-icing goal...
...First of all, they're beat. Wednesday and Thursday's were the third and fourth highest-volume sessions in NASDAQ history. In two days, investors ran off a cliff, bounced right back up, and then climbed a mountain. Dow and NASDAQ swung nearly 500 points each and plumbed lows not seen since spring.

He swung back at the "pick-and-chooser" Gore's targeted tax cuts, and kept turning Gore's charges to the who-gets-the-surplus-money divide between him (hardworking taxpayers) and Gore (government, of course). And he came up with a handy Reaganesque response for whenever Gore puffed up the Adminstration's plans for any unsolved problem: "Why haven't you done it the last seven years?" If there was a stature gap between Gore and Bush...
