...career in the opener at Hanover, perhaps setting the stage for more big performances in his final three games in Crimson colors.Cusworth, who can only play in one semester due to Ivy League regulations, is making the most of his half-season, leading the league in rebounds and block shots, with 8.7 rebounds-per-game and 2.4 blocks-per-game. He is also averaging 16.5 points-per-game, second in the league to Penn forward Mark Zoller’s 19.2 points-per-game.All three of those categories were improved by Cusworth’s monster game at Dartmouth...
...Iraq, Hill Democrats have chosen the latter course. Sen. Edward Kennedy yesterday introduced a bill to block funding for deploying additional troops to Iraq. But Reid and the Democratic leadership prefer a non-binding, "sense-of-the-Senate" resolution opposing the troop increase that is designed to embarrass Bush by peeling off dissenting Republicans, without actually taking any action to block the move.

"I think the Supreme Court would look skeptically at this approach," says John Morris, staff counsel at the Center for Democracy...
...Republicans insist they won't take it lying down this time around. They say they'll flex their power to block passage of spending items - which require a two-thirds majority in both houses that Democrats can't muster without their help - as a way to force themselves into the horsetrading sessions. Having received assurances from the Governor that deficit reduction is a priority and that he won't raise taxes, the G.O.P. has installed new statehouse leaders who say they intend to hold him to his word - and to keep him from completely caving to Democrats. "If we have...
