...three decades of Nader?s consumer crusades. But that relationship has now ended. Bush wants to cap the damages juries can award to plaintiffs, cutting into lawyers' fees?and the lawyers blame Nader. Even though he no longer even sits on their boards, his old organizations are feeling the brunt of the lawyers' anger. Public Citizen, run by Nader proteges, raised $150,000 less than usual in December, much of it attributed to trial lawyer revenge, group officials tell TIME. A New York-based law firm that represents families of airplane crash victims withdrew a $10,000 pledge...

However, the money that the machines bring in far exceeds the costs of maintaining them, and therefore Mac-Gray returns a fixed percentage of the revenues generated by Harvard...
Frustration became evident and tensions mounted in the final frame, with the Crimson bearing the brunt of the penalty minutes. Officials handed Kolarik a ten-minute misconduct at 12:13, and Steve Moore a five-minute major for high-sticking. The younger Moore joined his brother in the sin bin only seconds later. Harvard railed against the Tigers and, with the incredible reflexes of Jonas, staved off a 4-3 penalty kill...
