...they read on. Some measured up well. Abrams and Williams sussed in a few minutes that Gore had run out of time. But it was excruciating to watch CNN, where legal analyst Roger Cossack stalled pitiably for time as anchors Bernard Shaw and Judy Woodruff pressed him to draw a conclusion, while the clock ticked and rival MSNBC sounded taps for Gore. "So are you saying," Woodruff asked, "it appears that a recount could take place?" "Yes," he finally answered--an ultimately incorrect analysis the network stuck with well into the hour--though he pleaded futilely that it would...
...Montgomery County, Md., has been transformed in the past decade from a sleepy suburb into a bustling scientific Mecca. The 15-mile stretch of Interstate 270 that runs from Bethesda to Gaithersburg now houses one of the world's largest and smartest collections of genomic firms. The chief draw is the NIH, which dispenses $14 billion a year in research grants. But there are other attractions--proximity to Johns Hopkins, a start-up-friendly local government, an abundance of office space; and most of all, a critical mass of like-minded scientist-entrepreneurs determined to unravel the secrets...
...after a plane crash, has no one to talk to, to bray at, as he did to his harried underlings at work--no one to shore up his resolve or share his desperation. Well, all right. Chuck is a doer.

Our organization's goal is to motivate, educate and inspire students in the Republican cause, not to draw battle lines and divide students based on past association. To call this principle of open membership "immoral," or to suggest that it creates a "stilted and corrupt" election process--phrases used by Lewis in her column--is to form an unfounded insult to the notion of inclusivity that stands...
...expense. The party's 17 seats give it a kingmaking - and -breaking - role in the fractious legislature, and that's powerful leverage for a minority party. But polls indicate that it would lose between four and six seats to Likud in a parliamentary election right now. Both parties draw support primarily from immigrants from Arab countries, and analysts predict that in an election focused almost exclusively on peace and security issues, there'd be a stampede of voters from the religious party back to the secular nationalists...
