...scores of ethical charges hurled at Gingrich over the past two years, one worried his allies the most. It was the suggestion that he may have lied to the House ethics committee about the college course he taught and financed through a tax-exempt foundation. Gingrich initially professed not to know what the committee was hinting at when it questioned whether the Speaker had provided "accurate, reliable and complete information."

...believe in the principles of free and fair competition espoused in Ec 10. But U.S. Shuttle offers cheap fares only because it is getting a free ride. As a Boston-based company, it is exempt from all medallion fees charged to other Cambridge taxis with whom they compete directly for business. If this is fair, then we've got some land to sell you in Arkansas...
