...Harvard undergraduate filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education yesterday, alleging a recent change to the University’s sexual assault policy violates federal guarantees of gender equality in education...
...what is really winning Lieberman cheers among dispirited party activists is his new assertiveness in Washington. While other Democrats have been exercising caution in speaking against the policies of a popular President, Lieberman has launched a frontal assault. Last week he called for delaying major portions of the Bush tax cut (prominent Democrats like Tom Daschle and Dick Gephardt have criticized the tax cut but stopped short of taking action against it). The Senate Governmental Affairs Committee, which Lieberman chairs, issued the first congressional subpoenas to the Bush Administration, demanding records about its Enron dealings. Lieberman critics say the move...
...short-sleeved leisure shirts, the Mafia men pointed fingers and hollered threats from inside steel cages that ringed the back of the vast, underground trial chamber. Though prosecutors won more than 300 convictions by 1987, both Falcone and Borsellino eventually paid the ultimate price for their Maxi-Trial assault. Now, as Italy marks 10 years since the Mafia's brazen murders of Falcone (blown up on May 23, 1992 in his car along with his wife and three bodyguards) and Borsellino (killed in a similar attack two months later), organized crime experts say the Mob is quietly developing a very...
...lovefest in Ljubljana was more a product of strategy than chemistry. At a White House briefing with outside experts before the summit, Bush telegraphed an intense desire for his first encounter with Putin to go smoothly.

Among the signs of disrespect: the ouster from the U.S. of 50 alleged Russian diplomat-spies in March 2001, the five-month delay before setting a first Bush-Putin meeting, and the threat, since carried out, to withdraw...
...know it. What is the logic? For the U.S., land mines come in handy when its intervention forces in the Balkans or the Middle East need protection against a counterattack. Ditto missile defense: invulnerability to nuclear strikes makes it so much easier to, say, defend Taiwan against a Chinese assault. Or to go after Saddam and his chemical-tipped Scuds. Why does Bush dislike the ICC? Obviously, he does not want international bodies passing judgment on U.S. nationals involved in military actions not sanctified by U.N. resolutions. For the others, the object is precisely the opposite. They want to entangle...
