By Alyson Brodsy and Deb Riechmann · Wednesday, Nov. 5,2003 1:20 a.m.

ALPINE, Calif. -- Joined by the winner and loser in California's recall election, President Bush witnessed firsthand Tuesday a state devastated by fires that left over 20 dead and a trail of burned-out houses and blackened hills. "We've seen the worst of nature," Bush told firefighters, but the "absolute best of mankind." In a speech to firefighters and other emergency workers, Bush marveled at the "massive amount of destruction." "When people realize the scope of the fires, the historic nature of the fires, they'll realize what a superhuman effort you all put in to save lives," he said. "I saw firsthand what it means for people to draw a line in the sand and say, 'This fire's not getting any further,'" the president said.

Injuries hurt all aspects of team

By John Rodgers · Wednesday, Nov. 5,2003 1:15 a.m.

Saturday's game was perhaps the most injury-riddled contest of the 2003 season. The Hoosiers played without senior captains Joe Gonzalez and Brian Lewis. Lewis didn't play because of a concussion, and Gonzalez left the game in the first half limping off the field. Gonzalez's X-rays were negative. Junior Matt LoVecchio missed the game because of lingering effects of a concussion. Junior right guard Chris Jahnke was injured in the first half, as well, but X-rays were also negative on the Louisville, Kent., native. In addition, senior Glenn Johnson bruised his ribs. IU coach Gerry DiNardo commented Tuesday on the current status of the injury situation and who would be practicing. "What I know today, I believe Joe (Gonzalez) will go, Matt (LoVecchio) will go, I believe (sophomore) John Pannozzo will go," DiNardo said. "I don't believe Chris Jahnke will go. Now that could change, as well, but this is what I know as of noon. Glenn Johnson is fine."
