...don’t believe there’s any possibility of that coming—the Ivy colleges are active and interested members of the NCAA,” Asa Bushnell said. “I don’t think [the discontent expressed by both Harvard and Yale is] the feeling of even a sizable part. I think most of them are quite willing to go along with the NCAA on policy matters and let the Association make the policy decisions...
...determined to get better information on who is boarding planes. "Our biggest problem is simply one of getting more information earlier on foreign airlines' passenger lists, with identifying information," Asa Hutchinson, Under Secretary of Homeland Security, tells TIME. Too often, he says, "we get the final names and additional information like passport numbers as the doors close." That means any terrorist threat becomes apparent only after the plane takes off.

Pan Fish recently reported a quarterly operating loss of $18.5 million...
...bust couldn't have gone better for the pot folks. California attorney general Bill Lockyer fired off an angry letter to DEA chief Asa Hutchinson, who wrote back saying that federal law allows the feds to seize pot. "During the Clinton years they didn't do this," says Lockyer. "It disappointed me that they would be using precious resources to act like a bunch of bullies." San Jose police chief William Lansdowne was so annoyed by the raid that he withdrew his officers from the local DEA task force, ending 15 years of close work. Even Governor Gray Davis...
