Daschle told Bush early on that he was in no hurry to approve the President's judicial nominations--a comment that led Senate G.O.P. leader Trent Lott to pull Dick Cheney aside and say, "That's the real Tom Daschle."

By December the White House was calling Daschle an "obstructionist...
...MINI COOPER S Car designers have chosen one of two roads over the past few years: make vehicles more like trucks, or mine the archives and pull out, say, the VW Beetle or the faux-retro Chrysler PT-cruiser.

They were making bets, saying not only would Morales and his $10 cue win his matches, but he would beat the finest shot makers and gamblers in the country by two, three or four racks, in a race to 11.

...ancient warriors and sadistic gym teachers, is enjoying a renaissance around the world. An Olympic sport from 1900 to 1920, there is strong sentiment to bring tugging back to the Games. That would be welcome news in bored and poor Japan, where 3,000 teams are on the pull. None yanks harder than a band of Japanese middle-aged women called the Oita Cosmo Ladies. Since starting out in 1986 as a hobby for the wives of a landscape gardening company's employees, the Ladies have outpulled almost everyone fool enough to touch the other end of their rope, from...
