Button won his first three matches before losing a heartbreaking 1-0 to Chris Ramos of North Carolina. Button yielded just four points in his first three matches. He went on to win three more, blanking Dan Vallimont of Penn State, to face Ricky Turk of Columbia in the third-place match, where he lost...
Funny thing about fashion: just when everyone--including the copycats who are now a mouse-click away--is cashing in on the look of the moment, some Young Turk will thrust a seemingly absurd idea onto the runway and turn the multibillion-dollar global business on its head. Prada did it when she introduced that ladylike look just as every fashionista was baring her navel. And a year ago, Italian designer Stefano Pilati gave the crowd at his debut Yves Saint Laurent show a jolt when he suggested the awkward silhouette of short, tulip-shaped skirts and puff-sleeved blouses...
...Nowhere in the EU is rejection of Turkish membership as strong as it is in Austria, where polls find between 80 and 90% of voters opposed.

In 1942 Columbus Biographer Samuel Eliot Morison declared that the landfall was Watling Island, today's San Salvador...
Indeed, the movie ends with the old guy and the Young Turk, teacher and pupil, father figure and surrogate son (call them what you will) facing off in a national tournament. But what is lovely about The Color of Money is that the filmmakers are not interested in providing a clear winner here, either in the Oscar sweepstakes or in the contest for the audience's affections. They feel that it is enough to explore these two characters and a situation that is rich in melodrama and comic misunderstanding...
