...noted conservative and Bush administration attorney Jack L. Goldsmith. Her efforts to reach across divides were already evident during her time as editor of the Law Review, say colleagues at the journal.They ascribe the success of her leadership as a member of the masthead to her earnest determination to express an idea accurately and to her ability to judge an idea on its merits, instead of through a politicized perspective. They describe working with the future dean as a welcome respite from the school’s political battles, saying she applied a measure of fairness absent from many...
...express that you think the layoff is unfair, if you think it really shouldn't have been you? Probably not. The reason why is that it makes no difference.

This is true even of Peter's winged steed, the charmingly anthropomorphized Spirit of Babbington, which may not be an ace at lifting off but proves a surprisingly excellent road buddy. The effect is like a happy-go-lucky Nabokov, with all the road-tripping wordplay and none of the incest...
Words can't express how disappointed I am by Alex Rodriguez's steroid use. I have followed his career through the years, and he has always been a favorite of mine. I used to take my son to Yankees games, hoping that Rodriguez's talent, agility and strength would inspire him. Now I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that A-Rod's lying and cheating skills don't rub off on him instead. Will Markham, WESTCHESTER...
