Clarkson should be fine on defense led by First Team All-ECAC Kent Huskins (2, 14), but will have to search the ranks to find goal scorers. It lost top-sniper Eric Cole (20, 10) to the NHL along and some valuable supporting cast. In goal, the Golden Knights have a fine keeper in Shawn Grant, but if he falters at all look for Head Coach Mark Morris to start holding tryouts for the position in Potsdam, N.Y. All this means Clarkson will again take a while to find its stride if the immense talent there doesn't appear...
...generally true, of course, that older voters cast votes with far more regularity and in far greater numbers than young folks. And nobody seems to know why. I'd venture a guess: When balding and/or graying politicians continually make what appears to be an active decision to cut young people out of the political process, the impetus to get involved is sharply diminished. Of course, in defense of politicians - gasp! - there's a classic chicken-and-egg conundrum here: Do young voters ignore politicians because politicians ignore them, or do politicians keep their distance from young voters because they...
...Over six decades, Schlesinger has divided himself between the roles of historian (author, notably, of the three-volume "The Age of Roosevelt," about FDR) and activist-courtier.

...Read this book not for its epic retelling of his long descent into dementia or its ax-grinding with the singer's fourth wife, Barbara Marx, but for its thoughtful, sometimes moving recollections of growing up as Beverly Hills-Palm Springs royalty with an intermittently available father whose flaws cast very long shadows. Though there's little about music here, another of Tina's observations puts Frank's shortcomings into proper perspective: "Had he been a healthier, less tortured man, he might have been Perry Como." Of course you can't balance a childhood against, say, "All the Way," except...
...this goes to say that no matter who wins the White House, one thing is clear: Most of the public no longer makes informed political judgements. Instead, voters cast their ballots on media-made premises that bear little resemblance to the actual role the executive plays in governing. The result of all these misperceptions: a candidate for the White House who neither reflects core American values nor is even fit for office. Democracy, usually the aid of Democrats, has failed them this time. And what a price we will...
