...Last Hit The momentum for change is strong. Last spring, for example, the state of Washington passed the Lystedt Law, named for Zackery Lystedt, who as a 13-year-old played with a concussion during a 2006 game. Lystedt collapsed after the game. His brain hemorrhaged, he went into a monthlong coma, and he remains paralyzed on one side of his body. The law requires that all youth athletes suspected of sustaining a concussion or head injury during a practice or game must sit out and may not return to play unless cleared by a licensed medical provider trained...
...Then there's her spouse. South Carolina's governor went all wobbly as he talked about trying to fall in love with his wife again, but North Carolina's former Senator always lavished his wife with praise and compliments. (This alone, by the way, should have tipped people off.) It seemed plausible that he had made a mistake of weapons-grade stupidity and was prepared to make amends for it.

...went all night for the President, who a year ago came before the same body to announce, "Now is the time to act boldly and wisely." That bold wisdom has, in the course of a year, been transformed into a much more qualified vision of something short of significant legislative failure. "To Democrats, I would remind you that we still have the largest majority in decades, and the people expect us to solve some problems, not run for the hills," he said. (See pictures of Barack Obama's first year in office...
...Those roles have since reversed. Sarkozy went on to capture the presidency, and eventually became a civil party to the criminal case built against de Villepin. Both Sarkozy and the politically appointed prosecutor in the case violated presumption of innocence rules by referring to de Villepin as guilty before the trial had even ended...
