Carl Paladino talks about his confrontation with New York Post reporter, Fred Dicker.

But that's no surprise to folks who remember when Rove himself was a candidate - for president of his high school's student senate. Alumni of Olympus High, outside Salt Lake City, say the man now known as "Bush's Brain" showed his political cunning way back in 1968. "He had every social disadvantage imaginable," recalls Brian Moench, then Olympus' student body president. "Physically immature, no athletic ability, wasn't good with the girls,...

A lawyer for one of the women asked Hoffman about former CU kicker Katie Hnida being called the "c- word" by a teammate. That player was later disciplined by coach Gary Barnett for making...
