Wednesday, April 23,2008 9:44 p.m.

Little 500 and the week preceding it provided many reasons to celebrate, and thousands of people did so heartily.

What can we do?

By Peter Chen · Wednesday, April 23,2008 9:33 p.m.

George Stephanopoulos, respected national political reporter, defended his indefensible April 16 Democratic presidential debate moderating by suggesting that candidates should “expect” almost an hour of trivial and irresponsible hectoring from a political press bent on nabbing “gotcha!” moments.
