TAMPA, Florida (AP) — Campaigning in the crucial battleground state of Florida, Donald Trump bashed Democrats and Republicans alike Saturday, from Hillary Clinton to former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney on the right. Addressing a crowd of thousands at the Tampa Convention Center, Trump tore into "Crooked Hillary," as he calls his likely general election opponent, for the State Department email controversy and called Romney a "stone, cold loser" for not backing him as the presumptive Republican nominee. Trump said the Republican Party "has got to get their act together, come together to win" and slammed GOP senate candidates who...

In Robert Louis Stevenson's famous novella about the duality of human nature, a minor character describes Mr. Hyde thus: "There is something wrong with his appearance; something displeasing, something down-right detestable. I never saw a man I so disliked." It is difficult to avoid similar feelings of revulsion watching the C-SPAN video of Dr. Donald Berwick's alter ego testifying at the February 10 hearing of the House Ways and Means Committee. His disingenuous opening remarks, evasive answers, and transparent contempt for congressional oversight revealed Obama's recess-appointed administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid (CMS) as a grotesque changeling. Gone...

New view of Mr Boudica RACHEL BULLER 13 February 2006 10:49 For centuries, he has remained in the shadow of his famous wife, the warrior Queen of East Anglia's Iceni tribe. But while Boudica outshines him in history, new research shows that Prasutagus was not quite the down-trodden husband previously suggested. For it was he, and not his wife, who graced the coinage of the period. Until now, Prasutagus has only existed in historical conjecture and myth as King of the Iceni, the tribe occupying East Anglia, which was ruled with Boudica under Roman authority. However, new studies on a...

Mr Putin will not be moved by this tragedy By Oleg Gordievsky (Filed: 05/09/2004) Negotiating the release of hostages is never less than appallingly difficult. But I do not believe the crisis in the school in Beslan was bound to end in the deaths of hundreds of children. The official toll already stands at 322, half of them children, and is likely to go higher. The Russian "Spetsnaz", or Special Forces, who surrounded the school and who were in charge of containing the hostage crisis and bringing it to an end, have a reputation for fearsome, if brutal, efficiency. That...

NEWPORT, R.I. (AP) -- Mr. Potato Head was a little mashed and chipped, but otherwise in tater-top shape when he returned home after being whisked away from his cushy estate. Police said someone found the spud statue in a field. It was returned to owner James Leach over the weekend. "Although he was ripped and mashed a little bit, he is expected to make a full recovery and soon be on display," said Sgt. James Quinn. The 6-foot tall, 150-pound statue was stolen Friday from the driveway of a private estate. James Leach called police when an alarm went off....

Call me Miss September 16, 2003 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- by Amber Pawlik -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Before feminism, women were referred to based on their marital status. Single women were “Miss;” married women were “Mrs.” Feminists invented the term “Ms.” to refer to a woman independent of her marital status – much like “Mr.” I recently picked up George Orwell’s 1984 again, and came across a particularly insightful quote. I had to put the book down for quite some time after reading it; it had such an effect on me. This is when Winston visits his neighbor, goes to call her “Mrs.,” but then remembers:...
