Revelations about how Washington lobbyist Jack Abramoff allegedly bought influence in Congress have made a mockery of claims to clean government. The U.N. is struggling to recover from its own high-level corruption scandal relating to the oil-for-food program in prewar Iraq...

...positive development that an extension was necessary, driven by a conflict over just how robust the protections for privacy should be,” Casey wrote in an e-mail. According to Director of the University Library Sidney Verba ’53, the extent of federal access to patron information is a serious concern for libraries. Under current Patriot Act provisions, the FBI can demand an individual’s borrowing history from the library, as well as library Internet and e-mail records, if these records are relevant to an ongoing terrorism or intelligence investigation.
