 Manning
secures Reform's backing OTTAWA - Preston Manning, the Reform
party leader, yesterday won a key endorsement from his party's
grassroots members and grabbed momentum in his campaign to fold the
western-based movement into the newly created Canadian Alliance

  Tennessee
dream falls short of reality SUPER BOWL XXXIV: RAMS 23 TITANS 16
ATLANTA - Eight inches, maybe a foot. In the end that was what
separated the Cinderella Rams and a team of destiny from Tennessee,

  NHLer's
close call with death revives debate over
equipment For five terrifying minutes, Dr. David Mulder quite
literally held Trent McCleary's life between his fingers, gently
pressing on the hockey player's windpipe and jaw in a crude attempt
to keep precious air from leaking away.

  Academics
take aim at 'racist science' J. Philippe Rushton, the University
of Western Ontario psychologist frequently branded a bigot for his
theories of racial hierarchies, is provoking controversy after
sending out what has been described as a "really disgusting piece of
racist science" to academics across Canada and the United States.
Prof. Rushton's work places characteristics such as brain size,
intelligence, crime rates, sexual frequency and penis size along a
racial continuum.

 Ranchers
dodge artillery as U.S. Army hones skills GATESVILLE, Tex. - Robert Shoaf
knelt over one of the 10 craters now dotting his property and sighed
as he clasped a jagged strip of artillery shrapnel. "One hundred
yards that way, it would have hit my house," Mr. Shoaf said on
Saturday, pointing west to the home he shares with his wife, Joan,
about 160 kilometres southwest of Dallas. |
