...preparation was not enough to overcome a powerful Bucknell team that handed the Crimson its third straight loss...
...more than 30 conservatives and moderates who often vote as a bloc. "We could lose others if he defects," frets a Gore aide. Stenholm is fielding calls from Gore surrogates, and Bush allies have leaked his name as a possible Agriculture Secretary under Bush, an attractive prospect for a third-generation cotton farmer and ranking Democrat on the House Agriculture Committee.

When he planned a private trip to Japan and then decided to stay, Peruvians were surprised that...
