Several women. A couple of Hispa'!i¢s. By the time Presidtnt-elect Bush .announced the bst of his Cabinet selections this week., he had managed to assemble ·a group every bit as diverse as .the one put together by the man he wiU ;replace. · ~• President Clinton began his presidency in 1993 with the most diverse Cabinet in history, fulfiUing a campaign :promise to build a government , that "look:s like America." He also set a new standard for his sue- cesson - one that Bush has met. "I don't really think it's possible anymore to form a government of all white men in this country and that's quite remarkable," obser'ved Ruth Mandel, director of the Eagleton Institute of Politics at Rutgers University and an expert · on women and politics. . Bush is putting women and minorities in charge of eight of 14 statutory Cabinet departments. He has tapped three women, tWo blacks, two Hispanics , one of whom is female; ah Asian-American· and an Arab-American. The Republican president-to-be also has chosen a women to run the Environmental Protection Agency, which he has designated a Cab~ inet-level post, as did Clinton . Ointon also had eight women . and minorities in his first Cabinet. Three were women, including one black. There also were two Hispanics and three black men, along with a female EPA chief. Clinton also put women in charge of several other Cabinet-level agenCies. His replacements for departing secretaries included one black woman, a Hispanic, two black men, another female and · not start with Clinton bun that "his commitment to it has set a standard whi~h is clearly being followed." The all white-male Cabinet changed some in 1933, during the Great Depression, when President Franklin Delano Roosevelt · chose Frances Perkins, a woman, to head the Department o.f Labor. More than 30 years later, in 1966, the country got its first black Cabinet memb~r in Housing Secretary Robert Weaver, who ·served under President Johnson. the first Asian-American named 19 the Cabinet. In contrast to Bush's diverse Cabine~, the incoming House Republican leadership for the 107th Congress picked .all white men to head legislative committees. That left Rep. Marge Roukema of New jersey without a chairmanship, despite 20 years in the House and seniority on the banking committee.

Several women. A couple of Hispa'!i¢s. By the time Presidtnt-elect Bush .announced the bst of his Cabinet selections this week., he had managed to assemble ·a group every bit as diverse as .the one put together by the man he wiU ;replace. · ~• President Clinton began his presidency in 1993 with the most diverse Cabinet in history, fulfiUing a campaign :promise to build a government , that "look:s like America." He also set a new standard for his sue- cesson - one that Bush has met. "I don't really think it's possible anymore to form a government of all white men in this country and that's quite remarkable," obser'ved Ruth Mandel, director of the Eagleton Institute of Politics at Rutgers University and an expert · on women and politics. . Bush is putting women and minorities in charge of eight of 14 statutory Cabinet departments. He has tapped three women, tWo blacks, two Hispanics , one of whom is female; ah Asian-American· and an Arab-American. The Republican president-to-be also has chosen a women to run the Environmental Protection Agency, which he has designated a Cab~ inet-level post, as did Clinton . Ointon also had eight women . and minorities in his first Cabinet. Three were women, including one black. There also were two Hispanics and three black men, along with a female EPA chief. Clinton also put women in charge of several other Cabinet-level agenCies. His replacements for departing secretaries included one black woman, a Hispanic, two black men, another female and · not start with Clinton bun that "his commitment to it has set a standard whi~h is clearly being followed." The all white-male Cabinet changed some in 1933, during the Great Depression, when President Franklin Delano Roosevelt · chose Frances Perkins, a woman, to head the Department o.f Labor. More than 30 years later, in 1966, the country got its first black Cabinet memb~r in Housing Secretary Robert Weaver, who ·served under President Johnson. the first Asian-American named 19 the Cabinet. In contrast to Bush's diverse Cabine~, the incoming House Republican leadership for the 107th Congress picked .all white men to head legislative committees. That left Rep.

"So .is this the younger Michael Jordan, or the older Michael Jordan? That's one thing we all have to find out."

McNabb insisted the Eagl~ " are a better team than the one ·the Giants last faced in late October. He also said his '' team didn't play that well in ' either game. . "It wasn't them," McNabb said. "We've prepared well all throughout the week, and we just didn't take advantage of the opportunities that they were giving us. On the offensive side, there were times where we could have definitely completed some balls, we could've ran the ball a little bit better, or whatever . it may be, we just didn't. do it." New York did it on both sides of the ball. , The offellSe kept McNabb and company on the sidelines and the defense made the Eagles one dimensional, limiting them w 128 yards rushing in two games, most of it coming with McNabb on the run. 1 • A big reason for the success. was the discipline of its ' · defensive front seven.

(AP) - Mention Donovan McNabb, and the New York Giants call him the NFL's· Michael Jordan. The Philadelphia Eagles quarterba£k is that good. He seemingly can take over a ' game and win it by himself. McNabb did it last week in the NFC wildcard game against Tampa Bay, and the Giants (12-4) are .worried he'll do it again when the · Eagles (12-5) visit Giants Stadium on Sunday in the NFC semifinal Or are they? "You look at Michael Jordan, and he was Chicago," said Giants Pro Bowl linebacker JeJSie ArmJtead. "But he couldn't win it all early in his career. "So .is this the younger Michael Jordan, or the older Michael Jordan? That's one thing we all have to find out." While McNabb finished second in the MVP balloting this season, he looked very much ·like a second-year quartetback - and a young M.J. in two one-sided lo1ses in which the Giants conuolled the ball for 83 of a · possible 1'20 minutes. McNabb completed 29 of 64 passes for 343 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. He also rushed eight times for_87 yards and a TD. Much -of the yardage came in garbage ·time in games t!te Giants wdn 33-18 and 24-7. "He reminds me of a john Elway before they had a running game," Giants middle linebacker,.Mjke Barrow said. "He's like Jordan before they got Scottie Pippen. But unlike basketball, this is more ' of a team sport." McNabb insisted the Eagl~ " are a better team than the one ·the Giants last faced in late October. He also said his '' team didn't play that well in ' either game. . "It wasn't them," McNabb said. "We've prepared well all throughout the week, and we just didn't take advantage of the opportunities that they were giving us. On the offensive side, there were times where we could have definitely completed some balls, we could've ran the ball a little bit better, or whatever . it may be, we just didn't. do it." New York did it on both sides of the ball. , The offellSe kept McNabb and company on the sidelines and the defense made the Eagles one dimensional, limiting them w 128 yards rushing in two games, most of it coming with McNabb on the run. 1 • A big reason for the success. was the discipline of its ' · defensive front seven.

Becky worth .t.t.;> LONG BOTTOM - Misty Dawn Lyons and Robert William Arnott were united in marriage Decerhber 16, 2000, at Grace Brethren Church in Coolville. Rev. George Horner officiated the ceremony. The bride is the daughter of Mrs. Kenneth White of Long Bottom and Raymond Lyons. of Parkersburg, WVa. The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Arnott of Coolville. 'Given in marri2ge by her parents and escorted to the altar by her father, the bride wore a gown of white satin with Aleneon lace, a sweetheart neckline and a chapel-length train with tiers oflace ruffies. S~e carried a bouquet in colors of white, purple and silver. ·' ,Nikki Roberts served as maid ofhonor;Jeimifer Arnoit, sister of the gtoom, was bridesmaid; and Amanda Parker, niece of the bride, was flpwer girl. They wore purple dresses and carried bouquets matching t~e bride's bouquet.

' ~dentist: ·Germs, 1 .. '· iAMHERST, Mass. (AP) P~ul W. Ewald's best thinking started with an attack of-diarrhea on a field trip to Kansas. A zoologist, · he was studying the social habits of sparrows. But during that ordeal 24 yean ago, he' had tinle to .ponder other things: Wu his personal predicament simply the havoc of a germ bent on spreading itself around? or was his body trying to flush away the germ? Was this the cvohttionary adaptation of an invader or the evolved human defense against it? Healthy again, he checked the medical literature. "I realized that vittually aU considera\ions of cvolutionary processes in the medical Hterature were incorrect," •he says. So, he set out to fix that. Although not a physician, :Ewald has applied the insights of I 9th . cen~ucy evolutionary thinlcer Chules Dai'Win ·to help piMeer a perspective on difease now known as Darwinian; or evolutionary, medicine, Ewald has coneluded that mainstream medicin~, fixated on genes and lifestyle, is overlooking the chief cause or' the not genes, cause ·heart'disease, mentat;~ illness . . and that the best germ research lies ahead. "Infectious medicine has always been underestimated,'' says Ewald. "The problem is that infectious dileases are ·extremely divene." Confronting such a van array, his thinking has transcended tbe boundaries of hi! formal training and specialized confines of ntost scientific thought. !-lis ,latest book, "Plague Time: How Stealth Infections Cause Cancers, Heart Disease, and Other Deadly Ailments," l>ublished in October, spans the history of medicine from the bubonic plague ~o the Human Genome Project. Ewald, a 47 -year-old Amherst College biology professor, wrote the book tor the lay public with plain ianguage and a ,flair for storytelling nrcHh science. Many S(ientists, even including 10111e evolutionary medicine advocates, wonder if Ewald goes too far in the sweep of·his germ theory. ''I'm made uncomfcituble by global generalizations,'' says f University 0 Michigan psychiatrist Randolph Nesse. "They most · enduring, widespread and make some scientists think that harmful iUneues of humankind. Heart disease? He ·suspects Darwinian medicine is something germs. Can~er? Likely infection different from regular medicine in by germs. Mental illness? Also terms of its standards:' Ewald says his ideas are "supgerms. With a few c'olleagues. he bas posed to jar people out of the promoted a modest research complacency.· they feel about renaissance in the germ theory of modern medicine." Ewald portrays disease as dis~ase, which has been largely primiiive warfare.

The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Arnott of Coolville. 'Given in marri2ge by her parents and escorted to the altar by her father, the bride wore a gown of white satin with Aleneon lace, a sweetheart neckline and a chapel-length train with tiers oflace ruffies.

' ~dentist: ·Germs, 1 .. '· iAMHERST, Mass. (AP) P~ul W. Ewald's best thinking started with an attack of-diarrhea on a field trip to Kansas. A zoologist, · he was studying the social habits of sparrows. But during that ordeal 24 yean ago, he' had tinle to .ponder other things: Wu his personal predicament simply the havoc of a germ bent on spreading itself around? or was his body trying to flush away the germ? Was this the cvohttionary adaptation of an invader or the evolved human defense against it? Healthy again, he checked the medical literature. "I realized that vittually aU considera\ions of cvolutionary processes in the medical Hterature were incorrect," •he says. So, he set out to fix that. Although not a physician, :Ewald has applied the insights of I 9th . cen~ucy evolutionary thinlcer Chules Dai'Win ·to help piMeer a perspective on difease now known as Darwinian; or evolutionary, medicine, Ewald has coneluded that mainstream medicin~, fixated on genes and lifestyle, is overlooking the chief cause or' the not genes, cause ·heart'disease, mentat;~ illness . . and that the best germ research lies ahead. "Infectious medicine has always been underestimated,'' says Ewald. "The problem is that infectious dileases are ·extremely divene." Confronting such a van array, his thinking has transcended tbe boundaries of hi! formal training and specialized confines of ntost scientific thought. !-lis ,latest book, "Plague Time: How Stealth Infections Cause Cancers, Heart Disease, and Other Deadly Ailments," l>ublished in October, spans the history of medicine from the bubonic plague ~o the Human Genome Project. Ewald, a 47 -year-old Amherst College biology professor, wrote the book tor the lay public with plain ianguage and a ,flair for storytelling nrcHh science. Many S(ientists, even including 10111e evolutionary medicine advocates, wonder if Ewald goes too far in the sweep of·his germ theory. ''I'm made uncomfcituble by global generalizations,'' says f University 0 Michigan psychiatrist Randolph Nesse. "They most · enduring, widespread and make some scientists think that harmful iUneues of humankind. Heart disease? He ·suspects Darwinian medicine is something germs. Can~er?
