Listening -- it's something journalists are supposed to do well but often don't. We are trained to discover the "Who, What, When, Where, Why and How?" of the events and issues that define the social conditions in which all of us exist.

This process is repeated day after day.

It could only have been more perfect if Al Gore had worn a shirt that said, "I'm with Stupid." Instead, Tweedle-dumb and Tweedle-disdainful were dressed in identical outfits, dark blue suits with white shirts and red ties. (Gore's tie was more of a maroon, in case anyone was having trouble telling the two apart).
The back of the Run for the Endzone yellow and white T-shirts was a tribute. It read, "I ran for Jill."

Investors will also be looking at the earnings of technology companies Juniper Networks, Veritas Software and Redback Networks.

Coach Jerry Yeagley knew this day was coming. He knew, eventually, his men's soccer team would break out of its offensive funk, and he knew the day it happened would be an unpleasant one for IU's opponent. Sunday was the day. Michigan was the opponent.
INDIANAPOLIS -- Butler goalkeeper Jason Richarz was like a stubborn brick wall, denying nearly every scoring chance the men's soccer team had Friday night. He trapped, smacked and swatted away each ball that came near him -- until sophomore midfielder Pat Noonan scurried past defenders and tucked a goal past Richarz with five minutes left in the game.
EVANSTON, Ill. -- If there were any doubts about Northwestern's place atop the Big Ten standings, they were erased Saturday when the Wildcats played IU. And whatever doubts existed about IU's defense still linger after the Hoosier defense again allowed its opponent to score big.
