The Mids are 3-1 at home this season, with one of those victories coming against Football Championship Subdivision team Georgia Southern, 13-7.

Darron Edwards can clearly see his path to the NFL. The former Dunbar star and Arkansas State cornerback probably won't be a first- or second-day draft choice next month. But after watching his good friend LaQuan Williams go from undrafted wide receiver to integral special teams player for one of the NFL's premier franchises, Edwards has a blueprint to follow.    “Just growing up with LaQuan, me and him have known each other since we were nine or 10 years old, playing at Northwood,” Edwards said of his Pop Warner football days with the Ravens receiver.

WASHINGTON -- President Clinton's lawyers, trying anew to delay a sexual misconduct lawsuit against him, yesterday forecast a series of "constitutional clashes" between him and a federal judge over running the presidency if he also must defend himself in court.The clashes, the president's private attorneys contend, could involve who gets to decide how Mr. Clinton spends his time and which of his official duties receives priority for his attention.Mr. Clinton, a federal appeals court was told, cannot perform his presidential duties and simultaneously take part in defending himself against the lawsuit filed by a former Arkansas state employee, Paula Corbin Jones.

There was a time, before his NFL career, when Ravens punter Kyle Richardson dabbled in the same business as those who stick tape recorders in front of his face after practice.It took him all of two months to realize that business was not for him.Yes, Richardson worked for a newspaper, not as a reporter but in the circulation department as the district manager. It was a cushy enough job -- Richardson, right out of college, was in charge of a 25-person staff.It just wasn't what he wanted to do with his life, especially after a record-setting career punting at Arkansas State.

There was more slipping in the rankings than on snowy Midwest expressways. Tennessee skidded farthest off track with consecutive inexplicable defeats to Oakland and Charlotte. Records through Sunday (last week's ranking) 1. Duke 10-0 (1): The Blue Devils keep rolling even without injured point guard Kyrie Irving. 2. Ohio State 10-0 (2): The Buckeyes look like a team that could challenge Duke. 3. Kansas 10-0 (3): Talk about a stellar debut: Freshman Josh Selby scored 21 to beat USC. 4. Connecticut 8-0 (6)

MURFREESBORO, ARK. -- His friends razzed him. His wife rolled her eyes. But whenever Bob Wehle could get away, the warehouse manager from Wisconsin would head to the Crater of Diamonds in search of treasure. Last month, Wehle was sifting soil through a stainless steel screen when he picked up a peculiar pebble. It was gleaming, and the color of a lemon drop. "Now that is a diamond!" he recalled hollering. It was a serious sparkler indeed: a 5.47-carat canary yellow gem of unusual clarity.

THIS IS HOW Bill Clinton's apparent misconduct in the Paula Jones case should have been handled all along. In Arkansas. With nothing more at stake than his ability to practice law. Finally, we have an appropriate response to Mr. Clinton's inappropriate behavior. Of course, to get to this reasoned conclusion, the citizenry had to suffer through an agonizing federally funded investigation and impeachment trial two years ago. That whole process was a sham, because Mr. Clinton's behavior didn't rise to the level of "high crimes and misdemeanors" required by the Constitution to remove a president.

The man sits in front of a camera. He's wearing a red sweater and a down-home smile. He talks to us in soft, reassuring tones from a videotape produced by Jerry Falwell, the evangelist who would save America from itself, or at least from Bill Clinton.The man in the sweater does not seem like a nut case. At least, not immediately.His name is Larry Nichols. He's from Arkansas. He is, to put it in the nicest terms, Clinton's enemy. That's probably a fair description of someone who basically accuses you of murder.
