...Dubbed "Super Tuesday," voting in 16 states will determine nearly a third of the delegates who are sent to the Republican and Democratic conventions. Although much of the attention will be focused on New York and California, Massachusetts is widely regarded as a crucial New England state. In this light, we take this opportunity to reaffirm our endorsement of former Sen. Bill Bradley for the Democratic party and Arizona Sen. John S. McCain on the Republican side...
...Friday afternoon at Balboa Park in San Diego, a rock concert was out of control. Between 4,000 and 5,000 people turned up, some with MCCAIN MAJORITY signs, others with Jedi light sabers. Two helicopters hovered overhead, and McCain's bus had to park well out of the way to avoid running into the throng.

Nine officers were arrested in a sting operation and convicted of selling protection to a cocaine warehouse. Two cops were charged with raping a 14-year-old girl. More than...
ATTENTION! Using a special MRI technique, researchers have mapped out regions of the brain involved in paying attention. The frontal cortex and parietal cortex--in the front and back of the brain, respectively--appear to light up when subjects focus on certain signals. Then, as the new stimuli are processed, the visual cortex in the lower rear of the brain moves into action. The finding may help researchers better understand attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and even schizophrenia...
...pains, Bradley shaved 10 points off Gore's lead in the state over the weekend, but still trails by a 30 percent margin in the Zogby daily tracking poll. That's a gap that even Bradley's pal Michael Jordan would be unable to jump, and, in that light, MSNBC reported Monday that aides said the ex-senator was already planning his concession speech. At this point, it seems all he can hope for is to deliver it with better news than anyone expected...
