Meanwhile, the age-old rivalry is heating up on the campaign trail. Earlier this month, the Eli-ticket of Bush and Cheney were overheard referring to New York Times reporter (and former Crimson president) Adam Clymer '58 as a "major league asshole...
...Hardball, currently shooting in Chicago, KEANU REEVES plays a ticket scalper sentenced to coach some Little League ragamuffins from the Cabrini-Green housing project.

To minorities, I say, "Wake up. Your future is on the line." It's time. Electing them is just the beginning. LILLIAN KEFALOS Pittsburgh...
...quickly we all forget--even TIME. Admirable as Gore's selection of Lieberman is, the Senator is hardly the first Jew on a national ticket. That would be Barry Goldwater, the G.O.P. presidential candidate in the 1964 election. DON WATERS Ridgefield, Conn...
