Though Jake A. Porter ’05 has been claiming that the cuts and bruises on his face were the result of a triumphant barroom brawl with a smart-ass Yankees fan, sources say that the injuries were in fact caused by a misstep during an IM soccer match.

But while the Niger yellowcake story is at the center of a growing Washington brawl over who knew what when, they're something of a minor footnote in Blair's domestic political crisis. The British leader arrived to receive Washington's plaudits at a moment when his standing among his own people has reached an all-time low - and for the same reason that Washington...
