others. Let’s pool our votes and you talk to a couple of your friends…

A tough reminder
By George Starks
Sports Editor
It was two days ago, Dan Weldon, the defending Indy 500 champion, lost
his life in a horrific crash in Las Vegas. While he was one of the many
drivers I’ve never met, his death serves as a grim reminder why sports
journalists don’t get close to these guys. Granted, if Tony Stewart,
Jeff Gordon, Ryan, Kasey or some of the others I do know were to lose
their lives, I would feel a sense of loss... Read More. More Sports.

Reagan Resoluteness, Too -- Not Simply Reagan Recovery

1992 presidential race. A few months later, Bill Clinton replaced
George H.W. Bush (41) as president, and it was the focus on the economy
