This exhibition game was a homecoming for both Smith and Mleczko, who returned to Bright for the first time since helping to unveil the 1998-99 AWCHA national championship banner along with co-captain Claudia Asano '99 in the season opener. Team USA is currently missing several defensemen, who are taking their high school exams, and Mleczko is filling in at the blueline, so Harvard's career points leader was unable to score against her alma mater...
Maybe so, but is the rest of the country ready for Bradley's message of kindness and civility? Not if they happen to catch him on an off day--and he has his share of them. He's sharper in evening appearances, at roughly the same time an NBA basketball game begins, by coincidence. He wowed Teamsters Local 238 at an evening chili feed in Cedar Rapids last week. But in the morning you half expect to see him sleepwalk into a room with the hanger still in his coat...
...works for him--and so he responded to Gore fitfully, rebutting in his languid way ("We've reached a sad day...when a sitting Vice President distorts a fellow Democrat's record") and having his staff send out faxes and e-mails to correct the record--by which time Gore had long since gone on to the next attack.

But to paraphrase Adlai Stevenson, reasonable people won't be enough; Bradley needs a majority...
Bradley has too much in common with Stevenson, the Illinois Governor and two-time Democratic nominee who styled himself as being above politics (and arguably was) but lost in 1952 and '56. Like Stevenson and the other iconoclasts who descend from him, such as Eugene McCarthy and Paul Tsongas, Bradley has a poetic cast that hides the deepest self-regard and a reluctance to mix it up that threatens to turn him into just another noble failure. "The problem with candidates who are disdainful of the process," says Garry South, chief strategist for California Governor Gray Davis, a Gore...
