...move from a professor's point of view, rightly pointing out in an e-mail that "only students are affected by it--it requires no more effort on the part of the Faculty (except adding a few more students to a few courses), but it does add a nontrivial burden to the requirements on certain students." Is it too much to ask for the Council to stick by its now-broken promise to minimize student requirements and reinstate the A.P. science exemption? Perhaps, but it's a new year, and anything is possible...
...taxes are going down. Sorry, it just isn't so. True, some tax rates have fallen. And tax reform last year gave us tax credits for education and tax deductions for long-term savings. But new targeted breaks total maybe $20 billion, which pales next to Americans' annual tax burden of nearly $3 trillion. In 1998 it took the combined incomes of everybody in the U.S. through May 10 to pay all taxes owed for the year--the latest "tax freedom" day ever, says the Tax Foundation, which figures the date will be even later this year...
...witnesses could still play into Democrats' hands. Unified Democrats would need only six GOP votes to proceed without witnesses -- which leaves Henry Hyde the task of convincing 51 weary jurors that there's more that they need to hear.

But it's clearly the Senate's show now, and after nearly morphing into a mad House this week, it had to act its age and take whatever it could agree upon.

"So the more Planned Parenthood can show the site is designed to encourage acts of violence against doctors, the more likely it is the group can prevail." But that is a high evidentiary burden to meet, particularly in a legal system that gives strong preference to the free dissemination of information. Whichever way this case goes, it is likely to become a landmark, and may ultimately have to be resolved by the U.S. Supreme Court...
...center. In this age of the outlaw, he defines the ideal norm: he is our best us on our worst day, soldiering on through heartbreak. In Saving Private Ryan, for which he may earn his third Oscar as the tough, paternal Captain Miller, Hanks has a moment when the burden of leadership in war has nearly broken him. He walks over a hillside from his fractious men (far enough away that no one will see him) and sobs (so softly that no one will hear him). He is discreet even in despair...
