...first day of the rest of her life--last Wednesday, when she flew from Washington to upstate New York to begin the obligatory "exploratory" phase of her campaign for the U.S. Senate--Hillary Rodham Clinton ordered her motorcade to stop just outside the Binghamton airport. She hopped out of her van and, as a look of uh-oh, here-we-go flickered across the face of one of her Secret Service agents, plunged into a crowd of 50 well-wishers--the first spontaneous mosh-pit moment of Clinton's strange and improbable proto-campaign. She hugged children, signed autographs, posed...
...something different in my life, but I wasn't too quick to get up and leave my job, since they gave me the option to do something like this," says Weisner, who has worked at the company since she graduated from the State University of New York at Binghamton 12 years ago. "I guess I wanted to feel like I'm giving back to my community in a tangible way," she adds. Weisner had toyed with the idea of going to medical school when she was an undergraduate.

Laudor was seen driving away from the apartment in Costello's black Honda Civic, dropping it off in Binghamton, N.Y., to catch a bus to nearby Cornell University in Ithaca.

So the tobacconist hired a shady Chicago sculptor to turn a block of gypsum into a 10-ft. Goliath, which was shipped to a relative's farm in Cardiff, N.Y., for burial. After a year of underground seasoning, the figure was "discovered," and Cousin Stubby's farm became...
...overwhelmed" nearly doubled, from 16% in 1985 to nearly 30% in 1996. As a result of such anxieties, says Gardner, "students today are practical and grade grubbing." Many scholars blame economic insecurity for the change. Says James Spring, associate admissions director at the State University of New York at Binghamton: "As a student in the '60s, I could think about my philosophy of life because I didn't worry about getting a job." Indeed, those who report a "major concern" that they will lack funds to complete college jumped from less than 9% three decades ago to 18% now. Still...
