...trio of workhorse starters, plus the best closer in college baseball, keys the men on the bump. Jay Adams (10-1, 2.58), Daniel Haren (9-3, 3.38) and Brad Tucker (8-2, 3.55) are the rotation's top three, and each has thrown over 100 innings...
...probes should never have been authorized by Congress in the first place -- Starr has helped make it difficult to remember that all did not always go wrong for him. In his earlier days he obtained important convictions against former Justice Department official Webster Hubbell and Arkansas governor Jim Guy Tucker, as well as McDougal and her deceased husband, Jim.

...knee-jerk reaction to suicide is for students and administrators to convince themselves that any suicide is an aberration that suicide happens only to mal-adjusted loners.

The first single, "Get Up," shows how powerful and--gasp--poppy Corin and company can be when they're not trying to damage your hearing...
Although the recent upswing in capital punishment has put the spotlight on a parade of evildoers, they have tended to come straight out of Central Casting : poor, lower-class hard-luck cases for whom murder was the defining moment of their lives -- think Karla Faye Tucker, or Texas dragging murderer James William King. But the death sentence handed down Tuesday to former state prosecutor and political adviser Thomas Capano for the murder of a secretary to the governor of Delaware brings the death penalty to a far more rarefied social stratum. Indeed, when was the last time a rich, powerful...
