...concur that if the Iowa State Daily wishes to free itself of full accountability to the public that subsidizes it and to avoid lowa's ban on government competition with private enterprise, it must become truly independent of its state university...

During the Gulf War, coalition forces attacked Saddam's palaces and bunkers. Now the Pentagon is ready with a new list of his hangouts...
