...what does the departure of a man who worked in just about every Administration since the Nixon era really mean? Probably not much in the long run. The intellectual architect of the Iraq war exits the stage for now, taken out not by his massive miscalculations as a geo-strategist but by his efforts to help his girlfriend.

...Nikki Blonsky, 18, and old-comers John Travolta and Michelle Pfeiffer (shout-out to Grease 2 fans!) in a cinematic take on the Tony-winning Broadway musical, which was itself a showy take on the 1988 John Waters cult film about teens in a dance contest in Civil Rights-era Baltimore.

Madick posted a 16-4 record this year, struck out 139 batters in 135 innings of work, and has an ERA of 1.45. In the Ivy Championship Series she dominated a strong Quaker line-up, throwing a complete game shutout in the first contest before coming in and closing-out the second. Madick was named Ivy Pitcher of the Year and second team All-Northeast region by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association...
