...Captain Henry Breen proposed and approved the suspension. During the hearing Breen said that Brush was “very lucky” to have received only a two-day suspension. Jeffrey Kwong ’09—the Undergraduate Council Liaison to the City of Cambridge and ardent Felipe’s supporter—said it was “the best outcome I could’ve hoped for.” Brush and Kwong both added that it is critical that Felipe’s abide by its license to avoid further disciplinary action...

"The President seems to want to hunker down in his bunker." Alito is an ardent conservative who will be hard to caricature, but will provide plenty of fodder for an ideological showdown. As a sign of the potential battle ahead, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter said he wants to ask Alito about abortion. The new justice could become the tie-breaking vote on abortion restrictions...
