...homecoming for both Smith and Mleczko, who returned to Bright for the first time since helping to unveil the 1998-99 AWCHA national championship banner along with co-captain Claudia Asano '99 in the season opener. Team USA is currently missing several defensemen, who are taking their high school exams, and Mleczko is filling in at the blueline, so Harvard's career points leader was unable to score against her alma mater...
...there been such a cold response from the West to his death? Tudjman ruled with self-confidence and determination.

Given how long the cops took and how much ammunition the killers had, the death toll could have been far worse. But some parents still think it didn't need to have been as high as it was. They pressed Colorado Governor Bill Owens, who has appointed a commission to review Columbine and possibly update SWAT tactics for assailants who are moving and shooting. "There may be times when you just walk through until you find the killers," Owens says. "This is the first time this has happened." The local lawmen "didn't know what they were dealing with...
