Negroponte's surprising hedge comes at a time when the once dominant Bush hard-liners, including the Vice President, appear increasingly isolated within the Administration. An intense internal debate has erupted over whether new Pentagon procedures for handling captured terrorists should adopt the Geneva Conventions' ban on cruel and degrading treatment. A senior Administration source says National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and top military officers favor including the Geneva standards, while Cheney has managed to round up only a few senior Pentagon civilians, such as Under Secretary of Defense Stephen Cambone, to back his opposition...

The Lions chances for getting that illusive league victory this year would appear to be slim. After Saturday’s match up against Harvard, Columbia travels to Ithaca to play an improved Cornell squad and then finishes up against a Brown team that will likely be playing for at least a share of the Ivy title. The last team to go winless...
