...more an affirmation of Christianity than an unequivocal rejection of religion. As George M. Marsden writes in “The Soul of the American University,” the shift was not occurring “in the name of an attack on Christianity but under the banner of its expansion.” In effect, he writes, whatever Harvard did simply was Christian.“A student in 1970 and a student in 1870 were educated in very different ways,” says Daniel E.

...waiting Christiana Lackner for the easy bucket. “Little plays like that get the entire team motivated,” Rollins said. “You play defense harder, your offense flows from that when you get a little spark like that.” In a banner night for both freshmen, it was Tay who stole the show quite literally, complimenting her offensive output with five steals and three assists.

A slew of helicopters were there as well, and it was hard to tell which one Bush got aboard, according to pool reporters on the scene, presumably for the purpose of throwing...
...have pumped money into a campaign to preserve their tax break. At the center of the synfuel lobby in Washington is a consortium called the Council for Energy Independence. It's a name worthy of the most successful Washington lobbies, in which private interests camouflage their mission under the banner of a worthy-sounding cause. The council is directed by one of Washington's premier tax lobbyists, Kenneth J. Kies, managing director of the Clark Consulting Federal Policy Group. A former chief of staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation, the congressional panel that oversees the drafting of tax laws...
