...Emily Rooney, host of WGBH’s “Greater Boston,” claimed that “we’re all better off in the end knowing everything about one another so that we can make judgements...
...Bears bring many of their key faces back onto Ohiri this year. There were some losses to graduation. Two-time First Team All-Ivy back Michaela Rooney has moved on. Splaine, after a failed stint at WUSA tryouts, went on to win a lower-profile W-1 league national championship with the Boston Renegades this summer.

Jack Rooney, head of the American Sugar Alliance, a lobbying group for producers, explains that his members are all for free trade, but they worry that, without tough provisions on labor rights, the FTAA will turn the U.S. into a "dump market" for low-priced sugar. That kind of rhetoric is one reason no comprehensive trade bill has passed the U.S. Congress since the NAFTA accord. After that, the Clinton administration repeatedly failed...
