...Hurst Bowl, the first women’s intersectional of 2006. Sophomores Roberta Steele and Christina Cordeiro earned a three-point win in A-division, while sophomore skipper Megan Watson and junior crew Christina Dahlman did the same in B-division, winning by five points. A severe lack of wind on Sunday halted two races, giving the Crimson the early win. “We didn’t get to sail on Sunday, but on Saturday the conditions were pretty similar to what we’d been practicing on in Boston,” Watson said...
...Traditionally, key papal discourses would wind their way through several layers of checks and input from various offices in the Roman Curia - and particularly in the latter years of the previous papacy, bureaucrats actually wrote the speeches themselves.

During his first media interview, the former high school band member and honor student is exceedingly polite. Wearing jeans, black sneakers and a light blue polo shirt, he shows a visitor around his two-story semidetached house at Camp Pendleton in southern California, patiently answers questions...
...taxes and insurance rates. Fan clubs from just about city in the country gather on fall weekends at bars around town to root for their football teams, ignoring the local favorites. Career operatives who clear out every two years to work on campaigns just register to vote wherever they wind up living in November - the better to help ensure victory for the boss. For a company town, Washington is still pretty transient...
