...night before the senate meeting, Schnebel tossed and turned, worrying about the speech she would give and a few threatening phone calls she had received. On the big day, supporters set up a table in the commons to collect last-minute signatures. Opponents such as Andrew Dudik, 22, the elected student member of the board of visitors, showed up too.

A U.S./Saudi task force has already conducted more than 400 joint interviews, end-running laws that forbid foreign investigators from questioning Saudi citizens, and FBI evidence recovery technicians are working closely with their Saudi counterparts to collect explosive residue and other forensic clues in the Riyadh wreckage...
