Bayne and sophomore Paul Tselentis split time in goal, and both performed well. Bayne racked up eight saves in the first half, and Tselentis stopped three shots in the second...
...teacher would give that answer an Incomplete. Most of the fighting in Buffalo was not about ideas; it was about tactics. Clinton bashed Lazio's voting record in an attempt to show he's a right-wing hack (in truth, he's more of a split-the-difference guy; his tax-cut plan, for instance, is smaller than George W.

And parents tend to have trouble doing these things after they get divorced. In observing what goes wrong for kids when their folks decide to split, Wallerstein is nothing if not practical. It's not just the absence of positive role models that bothers her; it's the depleted bank accounts, the disrupted play-group schedules, the frozen dinners. Parents simply parent better, she's found, when there are two of them. Do kids want peace...
