...counted on heavily to do most of the offensive workload. Pickney is the Lions' top returning scorer at 9.7 ppg and 7.9 rpg. The other forward, senior Catherine Tubridy, will see an equally-difficult workload. Tubridy, in addition to having to score more her 6.3 ppg last year, will take on the leadership role alongside senior center Erin Erdman and senior guard Katie Sherwin...
...talk just to become our next president. I understand a presidential candidate responding to public sentiment about a particular political issue. But Americans' ungodly personal harassment convincing Gore to change his personality stretches beyond politics. Why the need to get so personal? Why the need to take it so personally?

But Bradley has suggested his is a different type of campaign, that he's a politician of a higher moral...
...concessions to the White House over funding additional police and paying U.N. dues, education is still shaping up as a fight. Although the two sides are only $200 million apart over how much to spend, the dispute is over how to spend it: The GOP wants additional spending to take the form of block grants to the states; the White House insists on federal control. Rather than dig in their heels, the Republicans have tended to sign off on some of Clinton's pet projects but then insert riders that the President may find politically tricky...
