Lines at some bookstores may look extra long as students prepare for spring semester, but Shawn Bourdo said it’s never as bad as it looks.
Pontiac, Mich. - In a game closing out the season between two cellar-dwelling teams, one might expect something other than an enthusiastic crowd. But when the Detroit Lions (2-14) downed the Dallas Cowboys (5-11) 15-10, more than just two disappointing seasons came to an end - a chapter in Detroit Lions football history concluded with the final game at the Silverdome. Lions fans from throughout the country converged on the Silverdome one last time, and for Bill Vanfaasen the move to Ford Field in downtown Detroit couldn‘t come soon enough. Vanfaasen, formerly of Holland, Mich., has been driving from Green Bay, Wisc.

I was happy to see The State News has “Knott” forgotten to include Bobby Williams on the list of 2001’s biggest losers (“It doesn’t matter if you win or lose...,” SN 12/7). Although I agree with what you wrote, I feel that we, as a university, are the losers in this decision.

If there’s one lesson President Bush should have learned from his father’s presidency, it’s not to make promises you may not be able to keep. At a California rally on Saturday, Bush vowed he wouldn’t allow his 10-year, $1.35 trillion tax reduction plan to be reduced, shouting, “Not over my dead body will they raise your taxes” to the crowd.
Lansing - Flashbulbs popped and reflected on the snow surrounding Grand River Avenue as MSU men’s basketball head coach Tom Izzo clutched the Olympic torch in his official 2002 Winter Olympics sparkling white jumpsuit. Let the flames begin. For Izzo, and 34 Michigan residents, the once-in-a-lifetime experience of carrying the Olympic torch was in grasp Sunday, as the torchbearers ran on Michigan and Grand River avenues with the Olympic flames in hand as part of the Salt Lake 2002 Olympic Torch Relay. “It’s a thrill, especially this year of all years,” said Izzo, who carried the famed flames two-tenths of a mile.

While you were away from the world of Spartan hockey... • The Spartans (15-4-2 overall, 10-3-1 CCHA) advanced to the title game of the Great Lakes Invitational, but lost the championship 5-4 in overtime to North Dakota on Dec.
Something had to give Monday night at Breslin Center when the Minnesota Golden Gophers, the Big Ten’s top-scoring team, took on the Spartan women’s basketball team, which boasts the conference’s top defense. And in the final 11 seconds, something gave. Minnesota guard Lindsay Whalen’s drive with just seconds remaining sliced through the Spartan defense and gave the Gophers a 70-69 victory. But for a little more than a half, it didn’t seem like it would even come down to a single shot. Twenty minutes after the opening tip, it appeared the Spartan defense had exhausted Minnesota. The Spartans (10-4, 0-3 Big Ten) took a 37-28 lead into the locker room after trailing early. But, Minnesota (12-2, 2-1) responded in the second half, tightening its defense and converting off Spartan turnovers.
It was bound to happen.The myth of the media’s slant on its news coverage has been talked about and argued about since news coverage was conceived, but nothing has been as “in your face” as the recent book by former CBS correspondent Bernard Goldberg.In his investigation of CBS distorting the news in his 28-year career with the station, Goldberg manages to shock the reader various times with tales of misrepresentation and censorship.In the introduction, Goldberg showed he wasn’t as heartless as he appeared, admitting it was tough to write about people whom he considered his friends during the years.“It’s not easy telling you that Dan Rather, whom I have worked with and genuinely liked for most of my adult life, really is two very different people; and while one Dan is funny and generous, the other is ruthless and unforgiving.
