...contest should have been merely a warm-up for the week's big match-up Saturday on Cornell's astroturf field. But B.C.'s unfamiliar, slick playing surface left the Crimson cold for most of the opening half...

Warm, feminine and indefatigably gracious, she embodies what Americans seem to expect of a potential First Lady, but not precisely what they were used to in a powerful and problem-plagued Cabinet Secretary. Combining those two roles, she found, is nearly impossible. At least these days...
