Clinton raced through some of Iowa's major population centers, accompanied part of the way by actors Mary Steenburgen and her husband, Ted Danson. Introducing the candidate at the First United Methodist Church in Indianola, Steenburgen spoke of an easy-natured -- and bawdy -- side of Clinton the public rarely sees. "You can have a conversation with her as delicious as who's going to win 'American Idol' this season, or you can dive down into the deepest, most spiritual depths," Steenburgen, who stumped in Bill Clinton's presidential campaigns, told the crowd of several hundred. The former first lady has a "deep, deep raucous belly laugh," Steenburgen added. He wasn't hired on merit, and if it were up to Streeter he wouldn't be fired on it as well.

" When the man listed two -- jobs and transportation -- Giuliani offered an answer but conceded he had not thought much about it. "There are not many rural parts of New York City," he said. Kathy Johnson, a small-business owner who asked the question about rising property taxes, later said she was surprised at Giuliani's tone. "I tried not to be aggressive when I asked my question," she said, adding: "He seemed so out of touch.

But there's a big difference between obesity and being slightly over what is designated "normal weight. " The evidence for serious health detriments from being in the slightly overweight category, from the research I've seen, is very limited. Some scientists think the "healthy weight" category should be pushed even lower. I think we should all be concerned about that minority of advocates who are pushing for very low weights.

And spurred by the Bruins' upset of the Trojans last December, the weeks leading up to today's national signing day were rife with examples of a rivalry that has once again heated up.

The English-language show, which stars the Honduran-American actress America Ferrera, doesn't trumpet itself as "ethnic programming. " Instead, it treats Latino bilingual biculturalism as a simple fact of life, and implies that assimilation (in the character of Betty) is inevitable, though not without a few painful bumps along the way. Although Latinos aren't yet represented on network television in proportion to their numbers, it seems likely that in coming years more big-league entertainment players will gravitate toward a demographic that, though still young, finally appears to be coming of age.

The Wolverines often got into the backfield to pressure or sack Nittany Lions starting quarterback Anthony Morelli, who was knocked out early in the third quarter after what appeared to be a helmet-to-helmet hit from Alan Branch. Backup Darryl Clark left the game too, looking groggy after getting hit on a scramble.
