An illusory love

I find it unfortunate that in recent issues of this Catholic university’s newsmagazine, the only pieces dealing with Catholic issues have shallowly criticized its teachings. Catholicism has a tremendous amount of truth, peace and splendor to offer.

Hope Memorial Hospital does not, and one dying little boy doesn’t have time to wait for the medical system to change, and neither does his determined father.

Tournament hopes fizzle

With three minutes left in the first half of Georgetown’s contest against the Connecticut Huskies on Tuesday night, first-year guard Tony Bethel got the ball in the open court and flew, much to the delight of the packed student section. He threaded a beautiful pass right through a Huskies defender to fellow first-year Drew Hall for an easy lay-up to put the Hoyas up, 37-28.
