Lieberman Trails Lamont by 13 Points in Connecticut, Poll Says

Aug. 3 (Bloomberg) -- Antiwar challenger Ned Lamont has surged to a 54 percent to 41 percent lead over U.S. Senator Joseph Lieberman among likely Democratic voters in next week's Connecticut primary, a Quinnipiac University poll found.

Visser blazes NFL trail to honors. Newsday:

Her first media credentials spelled out the challenge in black and white: "No women or children in the press box." It was 1974, and Lesley Visser was a kid straight out of Boston College. She did get a seat, because she worked for The Boston Globe. But the press boxes of the era weren't quite ready for her.

"No ladies' rooms," she said. "So I had to time it when I thought I could get to the public elevator and to a ladies' room [before a key play] ... I'd think, 'First-and-10 at the 20. I can get down and back.' "...

All of that will seem very long ago Friday night. Visser will be honored at a dinner with this year's Pro Football Hall of Fame induction class, becoming the first woman officially recognized by the Hall.

Visser will receive the "Pete Rozelle Radio-Television Award" for "long-time exceptional contributions to radio and television in professional football." Previous winners include Roone Arledge, Frank Gifford, Curt Gowdy and Pat Summerall.

What’s a TMZ?" "Behind the story of an up-and-coming entertainment news site that broke the biggest celebrity news of the summer."

...by reporting (Mel) Gibson’s arrest and anti-Semitic ranting late last week, complete with Smoking Gun-style police reports, TMZ has for the first time affected the national (or at least dinnertime) dialogue—to say nothing of one of the most powerful Hollywood careers.
