In addition to the traditional top hat and diaper, and be sides the 2006 banner across his · chest, Baby New Year has something else in his kit: a gag. That's because 2006 is shaping up to be the "Year of Speaking Dangerously." This isn't to suggest that 2005 was a banner year for freedom of speech . But the reaction, tepid at best, to significantly outrageous cases of. speech. repression during thts past year, from Bangladesh to Pari s, indicates only one thing: 2006 will be worse. Take our old friend {making his third appearance in this column) Ali Mohaqeq Nasab. the ·Afghan editor sentenced in October to two years hard labor.

Smith, suspended from the Alamo .Bowl last year and the opener this season for- aCl;epting $500 from a booster, has come back to ~ead his team with improved production as this yem; progressed. In the regular-season finale, a 25·21 Victory at Michigan, .Ohio ,State trailed 21-12 with 7:49 to play, but Smith engineered touchdown drives· of 69 and 88 yards. He completed 7 of 8 pa5ses on the winning drive and fih ished with a career-high 300 yards passing. "He knows he's a passer first and runner second, and 1 that' s the toughest thing to teach a qmU1erback that has athleticism to realize that," Weis said. "J think he's learned that, and you .can see him evolve from the be·ginning of the year to the end of the year where he now understands that he'll run when he has to, not when he wants to." Tre.ssel said Smith has that undefinable something that makes him 'a natural leader. "He's got something about him that people enjoy following," the Ohio State coach said.
