...these days, not everyone is on the Vice President's bandwidth. His biggest high-tech achievement to date is a program to wire every classroom and library in the country. He has heralded it as "a turning point that [will] transform the shape of America."

Freshman James Blake will once again play in the No. 1 singles spot in place of his older brother, regardless of the match time decision. In last weekend's Regional Tournament in Princeton, Blake easily disposed of Virginia Tech's Aaron Marchetti--the No. 17 player in the country--6-0, 6-2 in the championship match.
