...summer lab gets the least attention, but it's the most important thing we do," says Redford over lunch in the Sundance mess tent, the music of rushing streams riding in on drifts of alpine air. Important because this level of creative nurturing doesn't exist anywhere else and because these future directors do not seem inclined--not yet, anyway--toward the variety of film that is promoted with either a Happy Meal or the billboard image of a star urinating on a wall...
...congressional correspondent John Dickerson. "The party establishment has found its candidate, the guy they think can win, and they?d prefer that the issues social conservatives like Smith champion would just go away." The Republicans have been worrying about their right flank since Reagan invited ultra-conservatives into the tent, and running hard to the center since Bob Dole fell flat in 1996.

Last Monday he retreated further from the strict pro-life agenda, saying he would not insist on a "litmus test" for court nominees...
...friends at parties, what else is there? Most upperclass students will tell you they've found their homes in extracurriculars. But on registration day, you'll see just how many choices await you as you're shamelessly badgered by leaders of each and every organization in the jam-packed tent outside Sever. I honestly don't know the best way to choose, but I can tell you what did and didn't work...
