I was scanning the Tribune the other day, looking at the regional briefs on page 2 of the Metro section. I noticed an item with the headline “Black History Takes Many Forms In Classes.” It mentioned the various ways that students were learning about black history. Among them: Anderson Elementary students reading literature by black [...]
For one year I lived in Indiana — Evansville — and experienced that state’s famed high school hoops first hand. It was that rabid — and that good. I’ve also seen the movie “Hoosiers” — often. Then ESPN Classic recently showed a replay of that David-and-Goliath, 1954 championship game between tiny Milan High School and [...]
Sources in less-than-Happy Valley, PA, say that there is now a favorite to replace Penn State football icon Joe Paterno. Probably in one or two years. Max. It’s Mike Munchak, who is currently on the staff of the Tennessee Titans. Munchak is a former All-American guard at Penn State. He went on to a Hall [...]
We’re not yet out of February, but already the presidential election seems too much with us. The Democratic cavalcade of candidates never ganged up on front-running John Kerry, so the well-heeled, GOP re-election machine is starting to fill the void. The John and (“Hanoi”) Jane refrain was the predictable, lame response to the cheap-shot Alabama [...]
*President Bush has raised more than $11 million in Florida since June for his re-election campaign. His war chest is expected to approach $200 million by November. Put into context, this will be approximately twice as much as his Democratic opponent will raise. But no more than George Steinbrenner’s New York Yankee payroll this season. [...]

So what was really behind Howard Dean’s make-or-break strategy in Wisconsin? Some — OK, me — suspect it might have been the old “student council” gambit. Sometimes American voters — especially in primaries — just delight in casting a vote that will, well, screw things up. If nothing else, such perverse fun would delay the [...]

Bringing back Doug Williams made eminently good sense for the Bucs. It was a major PR coup for an organization that is increasingly looking like the House That Jon Built. And a front office personnel job for Williams, who had been head coach at Grambling University, was a good career move for the controversial, former [...]
