...long time ago. Unlike expected GOP opponent Rudolph W. Giuliani, who has an obligation to his elected position as New York City mayor, Clinton has been inexcusably camouflaging her possible Senate bid with her unofficial role as the First Lady. Especially since her candidacy was never really in doubt--Westchester Rep. Nita Lowey (D-N.Y.), the only other potential Democratic contender, dropped out months ago--the delay represents a lost chance for Clinton to appeal to voters still uneasy about the "carpetbagger" label. It doesn't help that the First Lady has not spent nearly enough time...
Somehow, I doubt that institutionalized cramming-time was what the administration had in mind. Clearly, however, students often treat it as such. And when undergraduates choose not to spend their reading periods cramming, they use it to visit friends at other schools. To clarify matters here are the words of Associate Dean for Undergraduate Education Jeffrey Wolcowitz, (taken from an e-mail message), associate dean of undergraduate education: "Reading period is meant to be an integral part of the term, [it is not] not meant as a time to catch up after ignoring work during the term.

Of course, preachers can always say the Creator called them on their cell phones at 11:59 p.m. to say Armageddon was being postponed.The media may have...
...will no doubt be a slightly lonely time for those not taking the Undergraduate Council shuttles to the airport Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning. It is obvious that few students plan on taking only the officially recognized holiday weekend, as most prefer to augment it with voluntary vacation, either arriving later next week or having left earlier this week. Since so many students seem willing to make the sacrifice of turning in problem sets and completing response papers ahead of schedule in order to join their families on Thanksgiving, it is time that the University affords them the time...
Anti-abortion Republicans in Congress stalled Washington's UN payments until the situation became too risky to prolong the debt any longer. But if Clinton agrees to the compromise, he will no doubt invoke a waiver that was written into the deal allowing $15 million to continue to go to agencies involved in family planning and reproductive health care services. Without this waiver, the agreement would inhibit the ability of family planning groups around the world to provide reproductive health care services to women...
