Or, at least. it The world and especially America is not safer as a result of these amounts to the same thing. In Rippinger's world, this election is not a choice between actions.

On the third anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, the Irish and Wolverines

played to a virtual standstill in the first half. Notre Dame, however, was pre-

pared to play and beat Miehigan, contrary to its performance at BYU the previ­

ous weekend. Solid defense kept the Irish in the ball game until coaches insert­

ed true freshman running back Darius Walker to jump start the offense and

secure one of the bigger wins of Tyrone Willingham's career at Notre Dame.

Willingham is now 2-1 against Michigan as a Notre Dame head coach.

TENNIS Federer wins his third Slam

Associated Press NEW YORK - Well, there's at least one person who isn't try­ ing to figure out whether Roger Federer could one day complete a Grand Slam or match Pete Sampras' career record of 14 major titles: Federer himself. The Swiss star has estab­ lished himself as by far the best in the game right now, and that's good enough for him. Federer became the first man since 1988 to win three majors in a year, thoroughly outclass­ ing Lleyton Hewitt 6-0, 7-6 (3), 6-0 Sunday to add the U.S. Open title to those he took at the Australian Open and Wimbledon.
