There appear to be a variety of perceptions about Harvard University Health Services (UHS) and its services to the College student (News, November 9). In this open letter to the students at the College, I welcome the opportunity to discuss these issues and others and to comment on the services provided...
...quick check with Russert reveals that he offered Gingrich the entire hour of Meet the Press the Sunday before the election to discuss--you guessed it--Social Security, along with the space program, tax cuts, the budget and education.

Most of the nation's 31 Republican governors will meet in New Orleans this week to chew over the election results, install Oklahoma?s Frank Keating as their new leader and discuss a possible coup. The target is Jim Nicholson, the GOP party chairman who many Republicans say shares the blame for making a hash of the recent elections and for being, looking and sounding too conservative in general. Several of the governors, including Michigan's John Engler, have said in public that it?s time for Nicholson to pack his bags. Following the model used by the Democrats...
