...ban prohibits kegs but not bottles or cans of alcohol, therefore possibly compounding the problem of can- and bottle-strewn fields. Also, without easy access to beer, students bent on a buzz will be tempted to drink more of the hard liquor and punch available near the field...
...addition, some of the kegs at The Game were brought by alums. It is unfair to alums to ban all kegs when the problem rests primarily with students. Before taking the step of banning all kegs, the College should better enforce the alcohol policy already in place. Lewis made the right call when he also announced that all pre-game parties are to be held on Soldiers Field so the Harvard University Police Department can better monitor alcohol...
...Lott is trying to outmaneuver McCain, perhaps by preempting his bill with one that Hagel has crafted - a rival measure that conservative Republicans find more palatable. Instead of an outright ban, Hagel's measure would put a cap of $60,000 on the soft-money contributions a business, union, PAC or individual could make in any year.

McCain could also be derailed with a little presidential pressure. Some of the GOP senators supporting his bill might...
Bill Clinton's last flourish on the Nuclear Test Ban treaty won't exactly set the cat among President-elect Bush's pigeons. But it may ultimately provoke some interesting discussions behind closed doors in the new administration. Former Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman General John Shalikashvili is due to report to President Clinton Friday on the findings of his investigation into whether the U.S. should ratify the treaty - and according to reports, the general will recommend, counter to last year's Senate vote, that ratifying the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) is in the nation's best interests...

Right now, Washington stands alone among its NATO allies on the issue of missile defense, which the Europeans see as an unworkable and unwise scheme that will provoke Russia to abandon existing arms control agreements. Some analysts suspect that if the administration does plow ahead on missile defense, ratifying the CTBT may become seen as a sop to Europe. Placating the Europeans, of course, will be General Powell's job. Secretary-designate Rumsfeld may not want to see it done...
