...Crist and his fellow Republican governors really can instill or revive a less-dogmatic culture inside the GOP, then an equally important question is whether that will in turn influence a now dominant Democratic Party in Washington. Central to Obama's cross-party appeal was his clarion call to end America's corrosive red-blue polarization. Republican pols like Crist may take that ideal even more seriously than the hyperpartisan likes of Democratic Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. It's a long shot, but a more centrist-minded GOP could be the country's best guarantor against the Democrats...
...ordinance forbids smoking both inside and outside campus buildings, in all resident halls and parking lots, and even on university-owned sidewalks. "It's one thing to stop smoking indoors, but who are they to control what happens outside?" says Steve Dugan, a 20-year-old freshman at Clarion University.

...About 1 in 5 students nationwide smoke, and just how they'll be sanctioned on PASSHE campuses if they violate the ban remains unclear. At the moment, most smokers can expect a warning if they're caught lighting up; during a "smoke-in" event at Clarion on Sept. 15, campus police passed out yellow citation cards to protesters who were smoking.

Although PASSHE is the first full school system to outlaw smoking, the American Lung Association estimates that about 130 schools now have campuswide bans, while several others have prohibited selling cigarettes on campus or have...
...important people always do when they exchange profundities on the hoof.'' Burnham's fellow atom-secret keepers, he explains, are into ''research, development and construction of the flatware for the Last Supper.'' Power in Washington meant ''entree (at least once) to redoubtable Georgian manors where the glassware tinkled with clarion clarity and no wine was served before its time.'' Beneath these cracks there sometimes appears a healthy anger with almost as many teeth as Jaws. Not a bad attribute for a for a man who wants to exchange wet fantasies for dry humor. As Johnson (Samuel, not Lyndon) once observed...
