...field player in Sunderland midfielder Claudio Reyna. The U.S. might have the tournament's best goalkeepers, though, in Kasey Keller and Brad Freidel, who both play in England's Premiership. They'll be much needed. Poland, the first European team to qualify, may be one of the first out unless it improves its recent form...
...fraud and witness tampering. But then it's been a busy evening for the mayor, what with swearing in two school-board members, giving three speeches and dropping by a book signing. And he still has a fund raiser to go to. Cianci shows no sign of the stress, unless you see some significance in the dark circles under his eyes, or the toupee that has gone from chestnut to salt-and-pepper, or the fact that as his Lincoln sedan has zoomed from event to event, Cianci has worked most of the way through a pack of Merit Ultralights...

What does he want to read...
...unwarranted assumption comes off better than the equivocator. He would deal with our question on Hume not by baffling the grader or by fencing him but like this: “It is absurd to discuss whether Hume is representative of the age in which he lived unless we note the progress of that age on all fronts. After all, Hume did not live in a vacuum...
