Kym Rohn-Taylor never knew if she would have the chance to board an airplane. The Franklin Field security guard has an aversion to flying, and last year she underwent breast-cancer surgery. But now she's back at work, and later this week she'll be up in the sky, off to California.
When the Penn softball team travels to Delaware for a doubleheader tomorrow, coach Leslie King will be banking on none of her players getting hurt. No coach wants injuries, but the Quakers are in a particularly precarious situation. At full strength, King's squad consists of 14 players.

Penn isn't biased To the Editor: I must admit that I don't fully understand David Back's comment on free speech. If his concern is that Penn is politically biased in its choice of high-profile speakers, I would remind him that Karl Rove, Bill Clinton and Senator John McCain have all spoken this academic year.
Walking into the Penn Bookstore yesterday, I smiled to see the Campus Bestseller display. A prominent stripe of Stephen Colbert's I Am America (And So Can You!) ran across it, three books wide and ten books in length.
