Chattanooga city councilman Manny Rico puts the matter simply: Councilman Manny Rico, who was also at the press conference, said he has no problems with Capt.

Argentine President Cristina Kirchner knows how to choose a sore subject: "The sovereign claim to the Malvinas Islands is inalienable," she said in a speech marking the 26th anniversary of Argentina's ill-fated invasion of the islands, located 480 kilometers (300 miles) off shore. The April 2, 1982 invasion prompted then British prime minister Margaret Thatcher …
Bowdoin's admissions director hasn't figured out what's really happening out there: “I know why it matters so much, and I also don’t understand why it matters so much,” said William M.

Hillary Clinton's statement about Barack Obama's pastor is just a little disingenuous: Hillary Clinton stoked up the row over Barack Obama's fiery pastor today when she claimed she would have left any church where such intemperate remarks had been made.
